On my Mac, Windows applications from VMs I have deleted long ago are reappearing in the Open With context menu in Finder.
When I run
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
these apps disappear, but after some time, they suddenly reappear?
Where are the entries for these apps stored, and how can I get rid of this?
 
Hi ErichN, please follow the steps mentioned below to fix Windows application icon issue:
1. Open Finder and go to your user's Application folder:
In the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
In the opening Go to the folder textbox type in:
~/Applications/
Your personal Applications folder will open up
2. Locate your virtual machine's folder you would like to remove and move it to Trash.
Important: There will be two folders with the same name. Choose the one that does not contain the apps' icons.
 
There is nothing Parallels related left there!
~/Library/Parallels/Applications Groups and ~/Library/Parallels/Applications Menus
also are empty!
