• you can use ...

    if object_id('dbo.yourtable') is not null

    begin

    drop table dbo.yourtable

    end

    Keep in mind this is not a best practice because you need elevated auth to be able to drop or create a table.

    - maybe # temp tables may help out (I don't know the procs functional needs)

    - To avoid everyone executing the proc needs to be dbo-member, you could use the with execute as setting.

    (check BOL)
