Remove learnt words in Pie

[Android Central Question]

So in previous versions of Android, to remove a learnt word from you dictionary you would long press to remove, however, that option doesn't come up in the latest Pie, anyone know how to do it please???

With both GBoard and SwiftKey I can long press the word and it gives me an option to remove it. I'm not sure where else you would look, as I have yet to find the entire dictionary to be able to scroll through it to pick words to remove.

The dictionary is accessed from the 'Language & input' page....'Advanced'. You can add or delete words from there.

Settings/System/Language & input/Advanced/Personal dictionary

There is no "Advanced" option within language and input??

It could be not available in your variant of Android Pie. I think each version can be slightly different in features. I've got a Sony XZ2compact so ymmv. For instance I have the latest release from Sony and I don't have Gestures or weather on Ambient screen among things that are different from Samsung or Pixel.

Yeah makes sense I guess!
Guess I'll have to wait for an update...

What phone do you have? Samsung S9 on Pie. If using the stock keyboard that came with the phone, just long press on the word you want to remove from dictionary while it's on the preview bar.

Ah, that's where it is hiding. I was looking for a complete language dictionary and not just a personal one for words I've added. My personal dictionary is empty, even though I know I've had to add a few words including my wife's name which is pretty unique. So there's really nothing for me to remove there. The long press option on a word in the text prediction row does still work for me.
