Removing engine wires from fusebox on firewall? Safely!?

I have some unneeded wires on my engine harness. Should I just try and pull them out of the plug that is plugged into the fuse box? I want to remove the wires safely without risking a future meltdown. Thanks!

I just cut mine and unpinned them from the harness. harness should come off easy with a ten mil socket, unpin them with a very small flathead
