I've found the info both for removing individual words and resetting your dictionary here... - https://windowsphone.stackexchange.com/questions/12444/remove-custom-word-from-auto-correct-dictionary
Deleting specific words from the predictive text dictionary
How do I delete specific predictively suggested words eg if you type "David" you always get "Cameron" suggested. I never am likely to select "Cameron" but if I type David a lot as I have a friend called David, I would like to delete "Cameron" from the dictionary so other options can be displayed. For some names you get two or three "celebrity" suggestions!

If in case you want the words not to be suggested or reset the personal dictionary, here is how you do it:
Windows Phone 8
- Go to Settings > keyboard > tap your language keyboard.
- Uncheck Suggest text.
- Press the Back key to return to the keyboard screen.
- Press advanced > reset suggestions to remove all the words you have added to your suggestion list, but keep the ones that came with your phone.
Windows Phone 7
- Go to Settings > keyboard > select input languages under Choose keyboard languages.
- Press **typing settings >**press input language under Keyboard.
- Uncheck Suggest text and highlight misspelt words.
- Press the Back key to return to the typing settings screen.
- Press reset suggestions to remove all the words that you have added to your suggestion list, but keep the ones that came with your phone.
