creating and deleting polygons

[Anonymous]

I am new to Maya, but I am having problem deleting pieces of polygons. When I try and delete 1/2 of a pipe pieces like edeg and vertices and face remain behine and become undeleteable. This seems to apply to all polygons. 

 And all diferent type of deletions such as, delete key, ctrl delete, delete vertices etc. any suggestion??

If you're trying to delete edges or vertices, use the Edit Mesh->Delete Edge/Vertex (Ctrl+Del)

To delete entire polygons, you should be able to select the polygons and hit Delete.

well, i've tried that, and it really isn't working either. But here's a screen shot of what my problem looks like.

Can you zip that scene and upload it?

Another way is to do a large merge components to those pieces until is one vertice floating in the viewport, then take that vertice and snap to one of the corners of the object and merge again that corner....that sometimes is an option.
