these files (in my case ~/.aspell.de.pws and
~/.aspell.en.pws) contain (besides a header line) a list of
hopefully correct words, each word on it's own line. It's
in chronological order of your additions, meaning the last
added word is on the last line.
If you have many correct words and only few not correct words
in it, it might be worthwhile to rescue the correct words.
You may simply open the file in any editor, delete the
words which are not correct and save the file.
Ciao; Gregor
