If you want to add words, you have to type the case-sensitive word you wish. If you wish to remove words from spell check, erase them with delete or backspace but make sure that aren’t any spaces in the lines.
Once you have done so, CTRL + S and your changes will be saved.
Lastly, we will talk about how to clear the dictionary.
Press Windows Key + R and go to:
%AppData%MicrosoftSpelling
Once again, navigate to en-US, and locate default.dic. This time, choose to delete the file and you will have a new dictionary with a clean slate!
In the following cases, en-US refers to the native language chosen by the user at the time of setting up Windows 10, it isn’t a hard and fast rule for this folder to be the only place your dictionary data is stored.
If you remember the language / region (e.g: en-US, de-DE, es-MX, etc) you chose at the time of setting up Windows 10, you just have to go to that folder and delete the default.dic file.
