ORA-00959: tablespace '_$deleted$3$0' does not exist

Question

One of our Backup Database is acting up; one of my colleagues babysits it, but I just stumbled upon something strange. The error below keeps popping up whenever I try and create a new table.
ERROR at line 8:
ORA-00959: tablespace '_$deleted$3$0' does not existI have tried looking up the error on MOS and google without any luck.
Regards,
