Remove entries from the "Open with" menu?

I'm using openbox as a window manager and while trying to open some specific zip files I did the right click, open with, and then chose a few different programs.

The problem is that now everytime I right click a file of the same extention the menu includes the programs I selected from before. Here's an example of what it looks like

Open
-------------
unzip
7-Zip FM
Archive Manager
File Manager PCMan FM
Open With
------------
Cut
Copy
....

and so on. My laptop screen has quite a small resolution and the menu flows off the screen which is getting really annoying. Is there a way I can remove entries on the menu, and just keep Archive Manager, making the menu smaller?

Thanks

you need to edit your mime list:

~.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

or install mime-editor  or xfce4-mime-settings
