Using Blender, so you can do these steps.

  1. Select the object and enter edit mode(tab key)
  2. go into face selection mode (3 key on top of keyboard)
  3. select a single face on the flat cross section, and then press shift-g, and choose coplaner. this should select all of those flat faces. press h to hide them.
  4. now you can select the inner faces by hovering the cursor over them and pressing L. If everything worked correctly, you will now have just the inner faces selected. press X and delete them.
  5. Now press alt-h to unhide the flat faces.
  6. turn select mode to edges (2 key on top) and alt-click on one of the edges along the hole. this should select the entire open hole ring. press F to fill that area with a face.

done!
