Removing entries for suggested applications

[311005901]

This should be an easy fix, but I can't find anything in Google because the search always brings up results for how to remove the application completely. I've already deleted these programs (the extra entries are usually Wine programs), but the option won't go away.

How do you remove the suggested application entries in the properties menu and the context menu? I want to remove "Open with..." entries in Nautilus.

As far as I know, these entries are stored in the following files:

/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache

and

~/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache

You can edit these files to adjust the "Open With" entries.

To get rid of the extra entries in the "Open with..."->"Show More Applications" context menu, I removed some .desktop files within

~/.local/share/applications/

Apparently, there were a large number of Wine application helper files (+50) to deal with extensions. I don't know if they were created with PlayOnLinux or through the normal Wine installation, but I just deleted them and the entries have disappeared.
