Safari - How to remove/edit an autocorrect suggestion.

I once made a typo when filling in my name on a form and now safari constantly suggests the mistyped version whenever I am filling in a form. I wish to find its dictionary and delete this suggestion.


Note:

-All the autofill options on Safari preferences are turned off - this is still occurring

-My goal isn't to turn off all autofill options but to delete the incorrect suggestion

-/Library/Safari contains several .db files with "AutoFillCorrections" or "CloudAutoFillCorrections" that I'm assuming are where the incorrect suggestion is but when opened in TextEdit they are not manageable to read. I tried opening them in DB Browser and it stated the file format was invalid.


If possible I would like to avoid deleting my entire Safari history (this typo was made several weeks ago so the whole history would have to go).


Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated =]
