Since lsregister -kill removes all of your application bindings, that's not
surprising...

Anyway, if you have TeX Live Utility installed, it uses a UTI of
org.tug.tex.dvi and a name of "DVI Document."  It's an imported type, so
ordinarily it shouldn't interfere with Skim's declaration (which is also
recognized for Quick Look and Spotlight import).  If you have an ancient
version of my DVI Spotlight importer installed, it uses yet another UTI (and
should be removed).

Christiaan gave the full path in a previous post:
