I have a model I want to print that has multiple layers of internal walls. They are useless and can't be seen in the finished product, like a hollow cylinder inside another hollow cylinder.

I can't seem to figure out how to prevent the slicer from including those useless parts. I've tried with Cura and PrusaSlicer. Is there another tool I should be using for this?

I see infil between outer and inner walls. If you want to remove inner wall you need to modify your model (CAD, blender, etc). You also have support in the middle, but it should be possible to remove it in slicer.

Not sure, but that hole might be there to reduce print time.
