After "intersecting the entire model and surface matching" walls split into two parts

In some of my spaces, after intersecting the entire model and surface matching, one of my walls split into two parts that is shown in the images below.

I would like to know is there no way to solve this issue? For instance can I delete the crack line on my wall or can I delete the wall surface and redraw it?THANKS in advance for any help.

I wouldn't worry about these lines. I think a larger issue is that many of the interior walls have the outside boundary condition set to "outside" (blue) instead of "surface" (green).

This is a common problem so if you haven't already read the other question related to surface-intersecting and surface-matching by clicking the tags in your question.

I actually would worry about the lines, since they mean more surfaces and are probably screwing up the surface matching. Yes, you can delete them, or delete the surface and re-draw.
