Remove Affinity from "Open With" menu

[myephemera]

Hope someone can help with this, I cannot remove affinity v1 from the right click "open with" menu on Windows. The v1 programmes are uninstalled and the file associations are set to v2, but they remain there. Are there any further files that should be deleted?

How did you uninstall them?

Here are few steps you can try.

Incorrect or no longer existing program assignments can be deleted in the registry.

Press Windows key + R enter regedit and start
To the path go to.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts
Now find the correct file extension in the left directory tree.
Now open it and under OpenWithList delete the incorrect entry in the right-hand window by right-clicking.

Program entry still in the cache
If the desired program cannot be found following the instructions above, there is another way to remove the program anyway.

Press Windows key + R enter regedit and start
To the path go to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\MuiCache
Now search for the name of the program in the right-hand section of the window and right-click to delete it.
That was it already. To be on the safe side, right-click in the taskbar and open the Task Manager and restart explorer.exe once.

Thank you! That worked straight away.
