Coincidentally I answered the very same question on IRC the other day...

After some quick local checks the format of the .pws files seems to be
slightly more complicated. So this should be the steps to remove words
from the personal aspell dictionaries:

* Remove the offending line from ~/.aspell.$LANG.pws
* Decrease the counter in the first line (at the end of the first line)
  by the number of lines you just removed.
