Edges Remain after removing Face

I had a face in between the 2 selected edges. I extruded (cut) the face but the edges remain. How do I remove them?

Thanks

Can you export to *.f3d and share the file here?

You need to attach your model in question. Open the model, expand the File menu, select Export and save to your hard drive. Attach the model to a reply post using the attachments section.

It isn't a surprise that this "design" does not behave as expected.

CAD requires precision and your workflow doesn't lend itself to that..

Are you interested in learning how to model "this" properly ?

If so, please explain what you are trying to model. Explain it's function (assuming it has one) etc.

What I'm attempting to design is a mold for injection molding. This body that is showing on the picture is the core side of the mold. It slides into the Cavity side (Body 4). Body 6 will be combined with Body 2 to form the complete core.

What are you modeling (forget the core/cavity for now)?

Is this geometry aesthetically pleasing to you (red circles inside and out)?

Where are the sketches for this geometry?

Why is the geometry not modeled with symmetry about the Origin (negating the need for any Moves)?

I would also be concerned about Face Draft (inside and out) on this blue face in image below...

Based on the workflow in the model, my assessment would be that you currently don't have the required skill set to design a functioning injection mold. I would recommend going through one, or more of the courses here.

Then I would start with properly designing the actual product keeping manufacturability in mind, e.g. it's ability to be molded. Then you can progress to the mold.

This is the part I'm attempting to model. I found it difficult to get proper measurements so I inserted a picture of the side into fusion and traced around the edge. That's where I got my sketch from.
