I added the word somehting (or similar) by accident to Dictionary of OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 in Google Chrome > 2nd click. I would like to remove it from there. I go to Dictionary but I cannot find by the Search tool, etc only someh and no success. So I should be able to find recently added words or user words.

How can remove a recently added word in Dictionary of Google Chrome?

On macOS Chrome 60, settings do not let you access the dictionary. Words are actually added in two places where you can manually edit them:

~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Custom\ Dictionary.txt

~/Library/Spelling/LocalDictionary

Then restart your mac for changes to take effect.

    Are you implicating that the command chrome://settings/editDictionary is not working?

  • I did not find Custom Dictionary.txt, but I did find ~/Library/Spelling/LocalDictionary.

  • I don't know if anyone's still monitoring this, but I've deleted the offending word in BOTH of the files mentioned above, and it still won't recognize the misspelling even after restarting both the computer and the browser multiple times. Any suggestions?
