Error Using spark.catalog.dropTempView()

I have a set of Spark Dataframes that I convert into Temp Views to run Spark SQL with. Then, I delete them after my logic/use is complete. The delete step throws an odd error that I am not sure how to fix. Looking for some tips on fixing it. As a note, the cluster is on Unity as a Shared Cluster.

df.createOrReplaceTempView(prefix_updates)
target.toDF().createOrReplaceTempView(prefix_main)
 
sql_begin = 'SELECT '+prefix_updates+'.* FROM '+prefix_updates+' INNER JOIN '+prefix_main+' ON '
 
merged_inserts = spark.sql(sql_begin+merge_match_ins+" WHERE "+prefix_updates+".ReplicationUTCDateTime > "+prefix_main+".ReplicationUTCDateTime")
        
      merged_inserts.write.format("delta").mode("append").saveAsTable(catalog+'.'+schema+'.'+table_name)
 
spark.catalog.dropTempView(prefix_updates)
spark.catalog.dropTempView(prefix_main)

The code before spark.catalog.dropTempView works just fine without error. But when adding in the View delete statements I get this error now:

Py4JError: An error occurred while calling o1620.dropTempView. Trace:

            spark.sql("DROP TABLE "+prefix_updates)

            spark.sql("DROP TABLE "+prefix_main)

Fixed it for me.
