You should certainly not delete anything before you have fully
understood the very complicated administrative structures of our country
;-)  You may notice that we have two Belgiums.
Notice that those boundaries are administrative level 8 and level 9,
certainly not the same thing and that doing as you say is destroying.
I have mapped thousands of kilometers of boundaries in Belgium and I
might have a closer look at that if you want, but not just right now. 
Boundaries are complicated things.

Cheers,

André.
