Remove it from the bubble

Open the bubble menu and choose the remove-word action. Wait for the saved state to update before moving on; the page may need a refresh before every existing mark disappears.

Confirm in the Word Hub

The webapp Word Hub is the durable vocabulary-management view and the best place to confirm that the item is gone.
