Deleting "learned" words from spellcheck?

[LAT]

Hallo
Couldn't find a post for this topic. Sorry if this is a already asked thing.
While Spellcheking in Publisher, I let the software "learn" a wrong word. I want to delete it from the spellchecking for the future, but can't find a list or option to see the new learned words and how to manage them?

The search for Learn + Spellcheck gives good results.

But you should precise wether you're using a Mac or a Windows version.

Normally if you right-click a learned word you will see an option to Unlearn it

See "To ignore a misspelt word on the page:". 

As I understand it, the OP is asking about how to delete (remove) a misspelled word that was accidentally learned (IOW, marked as correctly spelled by selecting "Learn Spelling" from the popup menu.) It is not about how to ignore a misspelled word.

That's it. Thanks a lot.
Would be nice if there is a list of ALL the "new" words, to manage. But i think this will do. Thanks again.

Oh, sorry. I work with all platforms (Windows/MacOs/iOs) (I switch often) but mostly with MacOs

Right. I have mild dyslexia and hit “learn” two or three times for made up words (fantasy story) and didn't see the spelling error until after spell check -.-

Truth.

Removing a poorly learned word is not mentioned in the Help at all.

I couldnt find that, not on the text box nor on the Spellcheck options window...

Working with V1, on win11.

As @carl123 wrote, you can remove a word from the list of learned words by right-clicking the word and choosing Unlearn.

Mac users can edit the list of learned words because the words are stored in an OS-level text file, but the words are stored in a non-editable file on Windows.

1. Quit all of your apps
2. Using Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder and enter
   macOS 14.4.0 and earlier: ~/Library/Spelling/
   macOS 14.4.1 and later: ~/Library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.AppleSpell/Library/Spelling/
3. If macOS System Settings > Keyboard > Text Input > Edit > Spelling is set to a specific language, the learned words will be stored in a file named en_GB (language code + country code) just like the spelling and hyphenation dictionaries. If you do not see a file in this format then you have set macOS Spelling to Automatic by Language and the learned words will be in a file named LocalDictionary.
4. Double-click the file to open it in TextEdit, or right-click it and choose Open With to edit it in a specific text editor. Make corrections as required but be careful to keep the last sorted alphabetically. Save the file and quit the text editor.
5. Restart macOS - this is important because the macOS spell checker caches the dictionary.
