      I’ve accidentally assigned to gz package files a non-existing command (gz). I changed the default program to open it with to “tar”, but in the “Open With” menu, “gz” is still there.

      Is there any way I can reset the “Open With” settings?

          SpaceFM uses the mimeapps.list file located in ~/.config/ to determine default apps for different files.
          Open it to see if the gz app is there and delete the entry
          geany ~/.config/mimeapps.list
          Search the [Added Associations] list. hopefully you can find it there and delete it.
