Yes, you can enter the Wikitree ID under "View connections" here View and Edit FamilySearch Connections (wikitree.com) and then click on "[delete]" on the right.

Samantha Thomson: thank you for your reply.  Actually, I am looking at the suggested matches, when linking to Family Search individuals.  As I link the correct people, ther e are others, which are not correct. (Otherwise, I would merge these people on Family Search).  But less experienced people, not knowing the facts, may be tempted to link them to  Wikitree individuals.  It would help, if we could reject them.  It would help to minimize errors.

Hi Richard, I now see what you mean. The creator of the app, Justin York, explains here Can we PLEASE have a "not a match" option in the FS Matches tool? - WikiTree G2G why there isn't the option to reject a suggested match.
