unexpected presence of a payee in an investment transaction

[allan]

I'm not sure I understand so excuse me if I've got it wrong.You have a payee you want to delete but can't see how?  Why, what happens when 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?
