Spouse triplicated
I have a lady who married my direct ancestor but he died and his widow married twice more and unfortunately her 2nd and 3rd husbands also died before she did; she had children with all 3. I've unlinked the children from the 2nd and 3rd husbands and the 2nd and 3rd husbands from her. However it leaves her appearing 3 times, one with a partner (my ancestor) and twice without a partner.

Re: Spouse triplicated
Click on the "All" tab in her Properties Box.
You will see a number of "Spouse family" entries, two of which should read "<no husband>" (See example screenshot below, but mine says "<no wife>"). Click on this and press Delete on your keyboard. This will remove the appropriate Family Record.

Re: Spouse triplicated
Adrian is correct.
The reason that is necessary is probably that you had a Marriage Event or Status for the 2nd & 3rd partnerships.
Before you Unlink people it is necessary to delete the Facts and Status recorded in the Family record.

Thank you very much satyricon that works superbly. Will have to bear that in mind, Mike.
