You have to edit its desktop file and remove the appropriate MimeType value.

Copy the app's desktop file from /usr/share/applications to 
/usr/local/share/applications (for system-wide changes) or 
~/.local/share/applications (only for you) and remove the MIME type you 
don't want to use. Then run 'update-desktop-database' as root 
(system-wide) or 'update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications' 
as yourself (for local).

If you want the app to not show in the menu too just add 'Hidden=true' 
to its desktop file (then you don't even need to edit the MimeType key 
as it will be just as if it didn't exist).
