if you are sure you are not mispelling it, it's probabyl under a differnet schema, and you get partial matches.
you should explicitly name the schema and object name:
SELECT schema_name(schema_id) as SchemaName,name as ObjectName from sys.procedures where name = 'myProcedure'
IF object_id('dbo.myProcedure') IS NOT NULL
DROP PROCEDURE dbo.myProcedure;
