Hi,  
I ran into this problem several times. I have a stroke on a face that I cannot delete. I try to adjust the thicknesses graphically or manually but it always remains distinct.  
I made a video which may be clearer.  
Has someone already had this problem?

I have come across this issue from time to time. Seems that both surfaces relative to each other are near **zero** , although the numeric display shows **zero**. You can try to use **Replace Face** to see if that moves one surface to the other. I have also done this as a workaround- slice off a piece 90° and then extend it back where it needs to be.
