How to remove an item from the custom dictionary?

I accidentally added Phillipi to my custom dictionary and want to remove it. I looked in the documentation, and there's a workflow to add new words to the custom dictionary, but it doesn't explain how to remove words. I also opened the option inspector with global settings, and I found something named SpellingDictionariesPath, which is set to C:\Users\Peter\AppData\Roaming\Mathematica\Paclets\Repository\SpellingData-1.0.10\SpellingDictionaries.
I couldn't find the word I added there, either.
How can I remove a word I added through the option inspector or by manually editing a file, for example, in AppData?

Is there a way to use the Option Inspector to do this with a graphical user interface instead of programmatically?

https://reference.wolfram.com/language/workflow/AddWordsToTheSpellingDictionary.html has instructions on how to add words to spelling dictionary programmatically. You can try following these instructions, but using DeleteCases instead of Join.
