Build topology will remove the duplicate if your tolerance is sufficient. This will also change the curve color by count to red, meaning a single curve is between those surfaces.

As for deleting curves, it really just makes them dormant. When you

Sometimes for many many reasons the solution can become unstable so a relaxation factor is used - takes part of value from previous iteration
