A face was automatically created when I added component to my project and I’m unable to delete them when I select each face. Any ideas? Thanks!

When you say face, do mean the blue tinted area that is all along the lower half? If so, chances are that area is a sketch plane with sketches. Hide the sketch then do what you are trying to do.
