OK, Phil, looking over your older posts, I am guessing you are using Finale-Windows 2012. I have that, but because of a couple of issues I reverted to 2011. I am going to be trying 2012 again in a few days, though.
I think this stuff has not changed, so try this: 1) Save your file 2) With the Selection Tool, select all of the bars from which you want to remove the tempo changes. Depending on the length of the piece, you can do this with a shift-click at both ends, or you can go to the "Edit" menu and click "select region and follow the instructions there. You'll probably want to select all of the staves (vertically) in the region. 3) Click on the "Edit" menu again, and click on "clear selected items." A menu will open up - first, select "none." Then, select "midi data" on the right, and "Expressions: Tempo marks..." (etc.) on the left. Click "OK" at the bottom, and it should clear all of the extra expressions and any hidden midi info. 4) Then save it under a different name, just in case you deleted anything important, play it back and see where you are. We can go from there.
