I'm on Kubuntu 11.04, and I have 1000 associations to wine's vlc - none of them is useful - and I want to remove them all. So I do

kcmshell4 filetypes

in konsole, then type "vlc" in a search box - it gives associations - but I can't remove associations like

x-wine-extension-m4p

for "remove" button is not available on them (and on them only). Nor

sudo kcmshell4 filetypes

helps.

So my question is: "how to remove association to vlc of 100 file types?" (you can do them one by one - but that's not the way it's supposed to be).

Wine keeps all those extensions this way:

$HOME/.local/share/applications/wine-extension-*.desktop

You can mark and remove all the extensions you don't want, and they will not appear in the menu anymore. Application icons may help you do it quickly.

    They've really gone as associations. I still have them though as a "known types" in 'File Associations'. I've also cleaned mimetype.list of all wines. Great! Thanks!
