Numerical Garbage value in Matrix

Hi, I have two n*n matrices and I am computing their sum. The sum is
[124.449917129290 + 0.00000000000000i -43.6298898009808 - 7.10542735760100e-15i -43.6298898009808 + 7.10542735760100e-15 i 124.449917129290 + 0.00000000000000i]. The bold value should be zero as I am using this result in an optimization problem and these 7^(-15) terms are introducing numerical garbage in my optimization problem. Any suggestions on how to make these terms exact zero when I perform the sum of matrices?

Can you clarify more, why zero, its doesn't affect in sum value, (+ and - equal value cancel each other)?

Better yet, compare the results of abs(real(A)) to abs(imag(A)). As long as the imaginary part is small, just delete it, replacing the value with real(A).
If abs(imag(A)) is ever too large, then raise a stink, since then you arguably have a problem that cannot just be dismissed as floating point trash. But at least then you know if there was a problem.
