How to 'merge/dissolve' two faces?

Question

I had trouble merging/dissolve two faces together, like merging these two faces in the screenshot. Any help is appreciated :)

if F and Limited dissolve don't work you might want to share the .blend because I think you might have some unusual (accidental) geometry you aren't aware of. — zeffii, Jul 25 '15 at 07:27

I think what you're looking for is the F key, this joins any selected faces if it makes sense topologically.

But, you will get an Ngon on that face.

Nothing happens when I press F – savram Aug 17 '20 at 04:44
This is what the F key does: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/2.80/modeling/meshes/editing/basics/deleting.html#modeling-mesh-deleting-dissolve-faces – bernie Apr 29 '21 at 12:48

That merges the faces, but keeps all the excess vertexes... – Douglas Gaskell Nov 12 '21 at 00:24

you do not have to be in edge mode for that to work, just select the middle face, then "dissolve edges" – David Jul 24 '15 at 19:44

The object became corrupted like the second screenshot after I dissolved the middle edge. – Mr.Benson Jul 25 '15 at 05:54
this just breaks the object – dtc Jan 02 '23 at 18:19
