Hi guys,
I was mulling around trying to workout how to remove my dictionary autocomplete words when I came accros this thread for the n810. So I tried to apply the same method for my n900 to remove the autocomplete dictionary. It took a bit of finding but this is the solution.
- Warning, Using X Terminal and the following commands can be dangerous and cause errors to your system. If you are unsure what you are doing Do Not Proceed -
1. Open X Terminal, type following. Note this IS case sensitive.
2. After this goto Settings > Text Input > [Uncheck] Word Completion > SaveCode:cd .osso/dictionaries rm .used.dictionary rm .personal.dictionary
3. Then re-open Settings > Text Input > [Check] Word Completion > Save
For some reason the Conversation app seems to store the dictionary in a cache.
Hope that helps some of you out. Nokia in both generations of OS' now - Symbian and Maemo - havn't made a clear path for deleting auto-complete words. It's quite annoying..
Edit: Added the Settings uncheck/check.

Wow, I just discovered that my password for gtalk / gmail is presented as an autocomplete word - every time I press q (which is what my password starts with) it displays my entire password as an autocomplete option. I presume this is a bug. I'll try post my first bug report (if it isn't there already)...
