How to get rid of unneeded vertices?

Question

I have some objects that were made by joining two objects together. This results in a plane that cuts through the object (see below):

unneeded plane

I already removed the doubles, but is there some way I can remove the plane itself, so the four vertices there go away?

First, delete the inner face by selecting it and pressing Delete > F. Next select the edge loop and press Ctrl+E to bring up the Edges menu, and then press G to select Edge Slide. Now slide the edge to the top or the bottom:

Now select all with A and remove doubles with W to bring up the Specials menu and then R to select Remove Doubles. You should now be back to your standard cube mesh shape:

Sliding and removing doubles seems a bit cumbersome when X > Edge Loops does it in one. – Ray Mairlot Dec 18 '15 at 16:28
