how to delete a table in azure data explorer using kql query?

I was trying to delete a table called Heartbeat from Azure Data Explorer DB using a KQL script. The contents of the kql script is:

.drop table Heartbeat ifexists

On executing the kql script using github workflows, Im getting the following error:

The resource write operation failed to complete successfully, because it reached terminal provisioning state 'Failed'.","details":[{"code":"ScriptContainsUnsupportedCommand","message":"[BadRequest] The provided script contains unsupported commands that starts with [.drop]. Script's commands must start with one of the following verbs: '.create, .create-or-alter, .create-merge, .alter, .alter-merge, .enable, .add'"}]}]}}

Please suggest how to proceed further.

Thanks in Advance.
