I don't want to delete the payee totally, I want to remove it from some
buy share transactions, and I don't see it displayed in the ledger
anywhere, either in the investment account, the brokerage account, and
no explicit mention in the payee display (which is not editable anyway).

you try? Do you have any matching set'?

I actually found several more from 2014, but this one was just from
this April. However, if it matched to the older ones, I can see it
would continue to use the same payee as the older transactions. What
I
still find odd is that I don't see any way in the standard interface
to
remove it. Will I have to manually edit the kmy file?
