We will be using the Terminal to remove the duplicate entry from the “Open With” menu.

Removing Duplicate Apps from Right-Click Menu

  1. The first step is to fire up the Terminal. To do that, simply click on Launchpad, type in “Terminal” into the search box and click on the app’s icon. The app will launch.

  2. When the Terminal launches, type the following command into it and press Enter. It should do the job for you.

  3. The next thing is to relaunch the Finder so it can recognize the changes that you just made. To do so, hold down the “Alt” key, right-click on the Finder’s icon in the dock and select “Relaunch”. It will relaunch the Finder app.

  4. You are done. And that’s all there is to it. You will no longer see any app appearing more than one time in the Open With menu on your Mac. If you install a new app and it appears twice in the said menu, just use the above guide and your issue will be resolved.

Conclusion

Removing the duplicate apps from your “Open With” menu will help you easily select an appropriate app that you want to use to open a selected file instead of getting confused as to what those duplicate apps are there for.
