I am having trouble getting the os.path.exists to recognize that a file exists. I keep getting "File does not exist". I reduced the code to the absolute necessary to address my question. I believe everything relevant is in there.
import os

Folded = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(4)
if Folded == '#' or not Folded:
Folded = "C:Documents test.gdb\" # provide a default value if unspecified
if os.path.exists(Folded+FileName15+"_table.dbf") == True:
print ("It does exist")
print Folded+FileName15+"_table.dbf"
# Process: Delete
arcpy.Delete_management(Folded+Name15+"_table", "Table")
# Process Create Table
arcpy.CreateTable_management(Folded, FileName15+"_table",Template_Shell, "")
elif os.path.exists(Folded+FileName15+"_table.dbf") == False:
print ("File does not exist")
print Folded+FileName15+"_table.dbf"

A few things:
Use "raw strings" to avoid issues with Windows path separators (backslashes) being interpreted as escape characters, e.g.
Folded = r"C:Documents test.gdb"
^ note the rIs there really a space after "documents"? I suspect not
Use
os.path.join()to concatenate paths e.g.path = os.path.join(Folded, FileName15+"_table.dbf")There's no file on the filesystem which directly corresponds to a table/feature class in a gdb, only ArcGIS knows what's in these. What you really want is
arcpy.Exists()
