Delete an autofill option in Safari

Hello! This goes beyond the simple options in the Preferences pane in Safari.



Notice the highlighted blue section. By a mistake of keys, I unintentionally (and mysteriously) added 'dmel' as an AutoFill option. All I want to do is remove that word.


Ideas?


Thank you!

If you have not tried this already, try it.


Launch TextEdit.

Type dmel. Highlight it.


Right click it.

A contextual menu should open up with "Unlearn Spelling" option. Choose it.


User uploaded file




Safari > Edit > Spelling & Grammer > Correct Spelling Automatically

Deselect this option and test.



Other than this. I don't have any other suggestion. Sorry to say that.


Hope others here can offer a solution.


Best.

Okay, so:


1. For Contacts, I would be searching for a contact called 'dmel', or anything that has to do with that word, yea? Nothing shows up.

2. For User Names & Passwords, 'dmel' does not show up.


Please believe I have been through this already The word is not in ~/Library/Spelling, not was it in the Text option within Keyboard in System Preferences.


Other ideas?
