Yes, it is possible to unlink a locked CMS collection in Webflow if there are two links in the project template that do not expand to show anything. Here's how you can do it:

Open your project in the Webflow Designer.
Go to the Collection page where you have the locked CMS collection.
Select the template that contains the two links.
In the Navigator panel on the left, find the element that represents the two links.
Click on the element to select it.
In the right-hand panel, you will see the element's settings. Look for the field that represents the link it is connected to.
Click on the field and choose the option to "Unlink" or "Remove link". This will disconnect the element from the locked CMS collection.
Repeat the same process for the other link.
Once you have unlinked both elements, you can delete them if they are not needed anymore.

By following these steps, you will be able to unlink the locked CMS collection from the two links in the project template that do not expand to show anything.
