Windows 10: How do I remove a Onedrive "open with" type option?

I was having a problem opening an Excel file in Onedrive. I've figured out what I was doing wrong, but in the process I added "EXCEL.EXE" to the Application choice list. The correct option is "Office 2013". I want to clean this up and remove the "EXCEL.EXE" option. I can't find anyway to remove it. I suspect it's in the registry somewhere. How do I get rid of it?

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

 

How to remove "Open with" option

The "open with" is working as designed

If you have a number of applications that are capable of opening a file type then these will be listed in the "open with" dialogue in addition to the actual default application set to open the file type. The "Open With" dialogue is populated by registered applications and ordered by usage. In order to remove an option from the list you would need to De-Register the application. Quite often the only way to do this is to uninstall them, although even this does not always work. With the untouchable status of Edge in Windows ten ( it's microsoft's Blue eyed child ), I think you have somwhat lower than zero chance of removing it from the list, (and at times resetting itself as the default)
