Is it safe to delete unused Financial Institutions in the Accounts List?
I assume that it is and in fact I tested it with Fidelity. Luckily it didn't delete anything from the Fidelity Accounts that were listed under another Fidelity (INV and Retirement).
Besides Fidelity, I have 2 unused American Express and 1 First US Bank. They are at the bottom of the account lists, and I assume they are left over from updating accounts to different connections for AmEx and FUSB. Obviously, there are no accounts listed under any of these.
I hadn't noticed them until today. Thanks.

I agree, it is safe to delete unused financial institutions. To keep the account history, make the accounts that will no longer update manual ensuring that such accounts are no longer displayed under the financial institution's name corresponding to such accounts. Then, delete the financial institution.
I had to follow a similar procedure to make accounts manual prior to reconnecting to the bank once the bank connection was restored.

From your comment @SRC54 "Obviously, there are no accounts listed under any of these [past connections]." Yes, go ahead and delete the connections. Looks like there is no accounts to make manual.
