Try beginning with the hole. Touch it’s sides, then hit Delete. Then the chamfers, delete. This should bring you to a basic shape. Try deleting it.

Is it unioned to the inner part? If you go the folders view, can you view the item as a separate body? If you can, you can delete it. If it’s unioned, then it will be more difficult.

I did find if it was completely a sketch you could delete the sketch and it would just disappear I just gotta figure out why I didn’t have the sketch

It happens. We all learn from our mistakes, then we think things ahead a bit more, avoiding Union until doing the finished design. I save versions to Files frequently, so I can go backward, if needed.
