User has deleted a feture class from enterprise geodatabase and he is trying to create a feature class with same name he is getting error message "Layer already exists". Though the feature class is not visible in ArcCatalog. Any help on this issue?

Are you using an archived or versioned database?

Test creating a simple table with the same name from the database end and then delete the table/feature class that shows up in the database connection using ArcCatalog. You can subsequently test creating another feature class with the same name to determine if it is successful.
