Creating Holes Deleting Holes

I have successfully generated holes thru two adjoining plates and their mating HSS Beam. However, I need to increase the hole size on one face only of the HSS beam, while keeping the plate holes the same size.  I isolated the beam, and changed the hole size successfully but it created another hole on the opposite side of the beam such as you would need if it were bolting through.  However, I am tack welding a Nut inside the enlarged hole and do not need a hole on the other side.  How can I achieve this?

What is the best way to delete holes that remain after I delete bolts?  Is there a way to modify bolt locations after they are drawn without deleting them and starting over?

Thanks Csillag! I noticed that I have some bolts facing the wrong way. Is
there a way to automatically re-orient them?

Thanks again Csillag!  One thing is unclear though.  How can I tell which hole I am modifying?
