Oracle 7 Deletion Problem

Does someone have an idea why I cannot delete this table. We encountered this problem twice, and Oracle Tech Support suggested to restore the cold backup !!

Oracle Product: Oracle 7.0.16 for SunOS 4.1.3

SQL> desc tcmunicipality        
 Name                            Null?    Type
 ------------------------------- -------- ----
 MUNICIPALITY                    NOT NULL CHAR(5)
 MUNICIPALITYNAME                NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
 COUNTRY                                  CHAR(4)
 PROVINCE                                 CHAR(2)
 STATUS                                   CHAR(1)
 STATUSDATE                               DATE

SQL> delete tcmunicipality where MUNICIPALITYNAME like 'Mun%'; delete tcmunicipality where MUNICIPALITYNAME like 'Mun%'
