clean up Recommended Applications
 

When in Thunar I click right on a pdf-file and then: 'Open with' ->
'Open with other application', I see nine "Recommended applications" and
dozens of other applications. Both sets contain entries that make no
sense and don't work. When I right-click on an entry, a "Remote
Launcher" pop-up appears, but it is grayed and does not work.
Is there a way to clean up this list, or even empty it?

Thanks everybody for the overwhelming amount of reactions.
I finally found out. The list is in
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
A lot of *.desktop, and all wine-stuff can be removed from
~/.local/share/application.
Still don't know why "Remove launcher" right click pop-ups don't work.
