Drop external table in Azure Managed Instance

We moved a database from on-prem to Azure Managed Instance. But now we can't use External Tables, so we're taking a different approach. Is there a way to drop the external tables so I can use the object names for local tables? If I run the normal instruction DROP EXTERNAL TABLE [dbo].[MyExternalTable] It shows the error >Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 > >Incorrect syntax near 'EXTERNAL'. If I run the command to drop like a normal table, I get a different error mentioning that this is an external table. DROP TABLE [dbo].[MyExternalTable] It shows the error >Msg 3705, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 > >Cannot use DROP TABLE with 'dbo.MyExternalTable' because 'dbo.MyExternalTable' is a EXTERNAL TABLE. Use DROP EXTERNAL TABLE. Is there any way around this?
