How to delete unusual synonyms names?

Mahesh TyagiMar 20 2014 — edited Mar 21 2014

I had to delete synonyms names from my set up in order to execute impdb command. Now please look at the following responses from SQL

SQL> drop   public  synonym /1000e8d1_LinkedHashMapValueIt;
droppublic  synonym /1000e8d1_LinkedHashMapValueIt
                    *

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-00995: missing or invalid synonym identifier

(Question) the synonym name /1000e8d1_LinkedHashMapValueIt is perfectly valid synonym name as found out from the following query but i am not able to delete it. How can i delete this synonym just like any other normal synonym name??. Please help

SQL> select synonym_name from all_synonyms;

SYNONYM_NAME
