Lost a table after sp_rename in SQL Server with unnecessary schema name in second parameter
I have executed the following SQL-script to rename a table:
EXEC sp_rename 'dbo.OriginalTable', 'dbo.TableWithNewName'
I know now this is incorrect and that the value of the second parameter should be TableWithNewName.
But now I can't find either of those tables and don't know how to fix this.

The table's new name is actually[dbo].[dbo.TableWithNewName]if we fully escape it, so to rename it to what it should be, useEXEC sp_rename '[dbo].[dbo.TableWithNewName]', 'TableWithNewName'.
