No popup on browse files

Everything was working fine until I tried to change file manager to view device's files from Thunar.desktop to ranger.desktop in ~/.config/mimeapps.list. Now this error keeps showing up in terminal when I try to browse files:
(indicator-kdeconnect:31873): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: couldn't find a terminal, falling back to xterm.

I tried reverting changes back to Thunar, where everything was working fine, but I still get same error.

I think the issue can be solved by deleting the configs of indicator-kdeconnect but I don't know where are they.

couldn't find a terminal

Seems you don't have a default terminal setted, check how to set it.

I have xterm installed and set as default terminal but on browsing device xterm opens and closes immediately.

Probably what you need to do is use xdg-mime or gvfs-mime to set the handler for directories, instead of editing them manually:

$ xdg-mime default Thunar.desktop inode/directory
$ gvfs-mime --set inode/directory Thunar.desktop

The Arch Wiki has a pretty extensive page on this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Default_applications
