Unlink proxies from individual clips?

[nDriskell]

On accident, I've linked a few clips to what I thought were proxies for those clips but were actually just the clips themselves.

Now in my Proxy metadata column, it appears that I have proxies linked for everything, when in fact I don't—I'll need to create proxies for these select clips at a later date. So I expected there would be an easy way to just unlink them from their "proxies" so that they wouldn't show as linked in my project. But... I can't find one.

Why is there not an "Unlink proxies" item in the Proxy dropdown menu?

And before you say "delete the clips from the project and re-import them," that would work, but I have already used several of these clips in compositions, and deleting them will mess with my project in a way that I find completely unnecessary.

If there is no way to unlink proxies, please add this function Adobe! This is an elementary task that should be much simpler and intuitive.

I welcome other suggestions.

No feature yet. But there is a workaround
First, Here's a previous feature request that you can upvote: https://adobe-video.uservoice.com/forums/911233-premiere-pro/suggestions/34192966-remove-proxies

Workaround. Select all you clips --> create proxies --> when all files load up in Media Encoder and the first one starts encoding, hit the stop button and remove them from media encoder. You will see"Offline" under proxy column

FYI, Detach Proxies is now added to Premiere Pro 14.3.1.
