You can't. The linking is done through the other side, Epic.

Ask Epic, the linking was done on their end. Valve/Steam can not see which account was linked.

According to their site only the last 5 logged in Steam accounts can be chosen from to be linked. So it's either family or friends where you logged in, or your account is hi-jacked without you knowing it.

Note: Only the last five Steam accounts that have been signed into the Steam client on your computer will display. If your account does not appear, please sign into the Steam client with your desired account then restart the Epic Games Launcher.

Maybe this helps when someone stumbles over this too, I had the problem when playing Rocket League over Steam and wanted to play with someone playing over the Epic Launcher. As I wanted to link my Steam account to my Epic account, I got the error, that another account is alreay linked with this Steam account. (This is the a problem on consoles and other Epic game like Fortnite or Fall Guys, too.)
The reason is, when you first start an Epic game on other platforms if you don't chose to create an Epic account on the first login or if the game doesn't give you the possibility to do this (Rocket Leage didn't ask me for that), the game will create a temporary or nameless (this is how Epic calls this) Epic account for you in the background. You need to unlink your Steam or console account from this nameless account first, by converting the nameless account in a full account...
 
1. Therefore go to https://www.epicgames.com/id/login and chose to login in with with your Steam or console account.
2. If the Epic account linked with this Steam or console account is a nameless account, you will now be asked to register, do this! Use a new mail adress different from your existing real Epic account as this is creation of a new account and not a login to your existing account! You can forget this new account after this procedure!
3. After registration you can go to the connection management in your account management https://epicgames.com/account/connections and unlink the Steam or console account (online progress of games may be lost now / reside in this account)
4. Logout of this account, login to your desired Epic account go to https://epicgames.com/account/connections again and link now your Steam or console account manually with it.
