Flow with multiple connections to SharePoint and Outlook. Is there a way to only use one of each?

I have a flow I have been working on for the past several weeks. There have been many modifications to the flow as development and testing have progressed. But now I am getting ready to move the flow into production. However, I noticed that I have three (3) connections to Office 365 Outlook, and two (2) connections to Microsoft SharePoint Online. The three Outlook connections use the same account and mailbox. The two SharePoint connections use the same account and point to the same SP site and list. All Outlook and SharePoint actions are using the same service account.

I am not certain what I did that resulted in my having multiple Outlook and SharePoint connections, but that is what I have (see attached screen shot).

If I go to 'Manage Connections' and delete the extra connections, I end up breaking my flow. For example, some Email actions fail.

When I look at the multiple Outlook connections, I don't see anything that distinguishes one from another, or anything that tells me which actions are using a particular connection.

Is there a way to find which connections the various 'Send an Email' actions are using, and modify them to use only one Outlook connection? Same question for the various SharePoint actions (Get Item, Update Item, Send HTTP Request, etc.); can I change them to use only one SharePoint connection.

Basically, I want all my Send an Email actions to use only one O365 Outlook connection, and all my SharePoint actions to use only one SharePoint connection.
