Link it has two options, one option is to remove the Secondary and one option to negated email removing operation.

If you click on the radio button, “No, I didn't create *******@gmail.com - remove my email address, ********@yahoo.com, from this Google Account. “ and then click continue it will remove the email and delete the link token.
