Just select those edges and use Delete edge/vertex tool.

Thanks for the reply Pierre, I've tried that and nothing happens... The edges just will not delete - Adam

Have you tried a mesh cleanup?

What are you modeling with polys or is it sub'd. It sorta looks like something I remember from sub'd modeling but it's been a while since I touched sub'ds so not sure.

try selecting all the faces within that area, deleting, go to vertex mode and make sure there are no strays left over, then just filling in that one bigger face

ah this is a subdivision surface. Not seen these in use for a while

First of all, for saftey, merge all your verts with a low tolerence. Then save. Then in the hypergraph check for blind data nodes. This is like a geometry history for subd's. In a hypergraph select the object and graph the input and output connection, this will show you all the nodes that are connected to the object. If there is any blind data, simply delete them and anything that isnt attached to the object nodes.

Sometimes when you do this the object will drop the shader, so simply re-assign it and you should be good to go!!
