Percent complete and duration in Project are properties of the task
object - they cannot be "unlinked". There may be more to an answer for
you but without any kind of explanation (i.e. you only posted a title),
we have no idea what you are trying to do.

The only thing I can tinnk of is under Tools>Options>Calculation. Threre are
a few choices there.

Since "% Complete" refers to duration by definition, it is impossible to
unlink them. It explicitly indicates the portion of the total duration that
has been worked to date. [% Complete]=100 *
[ActualDuration]/[TotalDuration] and
[RemainingDuration]=[TotalDuration]-[Actual Duration], therefore Remaining
Duration will always be related to % Complete. Perhaps you are confusing %
Complete with % Work Complete or % Physical Complete - the three different
percentages represent three different concepts and measurements of progress.
When you say a task is 50% complete you need to be totally clear on just
what kind of progress you're looking at - time, effort, or output.
