Sweep feature leaving thin walls

How would I get the sweep feature to get rid of all this material? It's leaving a thin wall on my part, even after extending my sketch beyond the stock.

I could not see why your Profile was not acting as desired but there must have been an oncontinuity I guess. I created a new sketch and made sure it was adequate.

If you Trim the indicate line, in your sketch, the Sweep works fine.

Thanks, trimming that line did work. I guess that makes sense to me, but why didn't it leave a thin wall in the middle of the profile where there's another line?

Because that line really is hiding a fourth profile. In the animated GIF below, at the beginning you see three profiles. Then I use a Crossing Windows to select across the line and then you see four profiles.
