How to delete learned words?

[jake-herrmann]

Is it possible to delete learned words? For example, if I type "foobar" a few times, then the keyboard will start suggesting "foobar" whenever I start typing a word that beings with "f". I can long-press the "foobar" suggestion to get a trashcan icon, which I assume would delete "foobar" from my personal dictionary. However, if I press the trashcan icon, then "foobar" only disappears from the suggestions bar for the current word, but comes back when I start typing again.

Also, perhaps related, can anyone tell me what the Settings > Text correction > Add words to personal dictionary option does? I've tried using the keyboard with and without this option enabled, but either way, I do not see any learned words appearing in Text correction > Personal dictionary.

Strange, in "text correction" the first option is "personal dictionary", that's where you delete or add shortcut words. Doesn't this option appear for you?

[jake-herrmann]

Oh, you meant in my device settings. No, they don't appear in the personal dictionary there either.

How strange, I don't know what to think to help, maybe cleaning the app cache? As you deleted using the trash icon and is not in the dictionaries, it may be in this stored memory

Good idea, but nope, if I delete the suggestion and then immediately switch to Heliboard storage settings, delete the cache, force stop the app, and then delete the cache again, it still suggests the deleted word.

@jake-herrmann
Have you tried deactivating the "personalized suggestions” in the correction settings ? That should solve your problem.

I want to keep personalized suggestions and just be able to delete typos from the learned words.

Long-press the word in the suggestion row and put it in the basket
