Are you sure you're querying in the right database?
Try this first and see if your tables are listed
SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME IN ('YourTable1','YourTable2',..)
Another reason can be tables got created in a schema different from your default schema
In that case first identify the schema using
SELECT TABLE_NAME,TABLE_SCHEMA FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME IN ('YourTable1','YourTable2',..)
Then select from table as
SELECT * FROM SchemaName.TableName1
SELECT * FROM SchemaName.TableName2
