There's only one mesh there.Edge loops don't create another mesh.

I was tryin to word the description right, when I create an edge loop , the original face seems to remain hidden and when I select the vertices and move them like the image, it reveals the face. I am trying to inset a loop without have additional mesh and having to go the route of delete those faces, can not find a quick solution online.

The edge loop tool creates new poly faces, if you don't want to add geometry don't use edge loop.

yeah, did a test it seems like circularizing a poly plane seems to be causing the problem, it works if that is not done.
