- Warning, Using X Terminal and the following commands can be dangerous and cause errors to your system. If you are unsure what you are doing Do Not Proceed -

1. Open X Terminal, type following. Note this IS case sensitive.

Code:

cd .osso/dictionaries
rm .used.dictionary
rm .personal.dictionary

2. After this goto Settings > Text Input > [Uncheck] Word Completion > Save
3. Then re-open Settings > Text Input > [Check] Word Completion > Save

For some reason the Conversation app seems to store the dictionary in a cache.

Hope that helps some of you out. Nokia in both generations of OS' now - Symbian and Maemo - havn't made a clear path for deleting auto-complete words. It's quite annoying..


Edit: Added the Settings uncheck/check.
