Welcome to the forum!

Three things control the tempo in Finale:

MIDI Tool (= the recorded MIDI Data tempo changes)
Expression Tool (= the expression tempo changes)
Playback Controls

And they work in a hierarchical fashion.

The tempo in the Playback Controls is overridden by an Expression that sets a tempo.
This is overridden by the MIDI Tool, which is at the top of the “Tempo Hierarchy”.


I would begin at the top of the “Tempo Hierarchy”:

Selection Tool.
Select All.
Edit menu > Clear Selected Items…
In the dialog box Clear Selected Items, click None, to de-select everything.
Then, select Tempo changes.

If that step does not solve the problem, try clearing all expressions.
