Netflix does not provide an option to directly delete your login history. However, you can sign out of all devices currently logged in to your account by going to your Account settings, selecting "Sign out of all devices," and confirming the action. This will effectively clear your login history across all devices.

To remove a title from your "Continue Watching" row, navigate to the title, select the three-dot icon below it, choose "Remove from Row," and confirm your selection. This action will remove the selected title from your "Continue Watching" list across all devices, ensuring a cleaner and more personalized viewing.

Netflix uses your viewing history to make recommendations based on your interests. However, if you share your Netflix account with others or if you have watched content that is not reflective of your preferences, it can skew the recommendations you receive. By modifying your viewing history, you can ensure that the suggestions you receive are more accurate and aligned with your current preferences.

Netflix does a lot of things exceptionally well, but content discovery is not one of them. It's surprisingly difficult to dig deep into the company's library to find enjoyable new stuff to watch. Instead, users often have to rely on the not-so-user-friendly secret Netflix codes (how to enter Netflix's secret codes).

Luckily, all hope is not lost. You can remove the movies and TV shows you've watched from your Netflix history, and prevent the algorithms from considering them when suggesting new content. So, here's how to delete your Netflix history to improve your recommendations.

Remember, if you've watched multiple episodes of a show, you need to remove them all for Netflix's algorithms to stop considering them. You can either do this manually, or click Hide Series? to remove the show as a whole.

@Daddymae Removing unwanted programmes from the Continue Watching rail is my biggest complaint with Glass / Stream. There are different ways to remove items depending on what you are trying to remove. Some need to be done on your laptop and others on Sky stream. Some just don't seem to removable and /or keep reappearing every time a new episode records (Ch4 is very bad for this).

I never look at continue watching as it contains so much junk that I have watched for a few minutes and abandoned, unfortunately Sky also uses this info for recommendations so if you look at junk you get recommendations for more junk.

Is nobody from Sky going to provide an update as to when this issue will be resolved and there is a proper way of managing the CW list? Its evident from the postings and questions on the Internet that this is actually something that Sky Stream customers want and need (without fast forwarding through an entire season, particularly when this doesn't always work)

Generally you don't need to run through every episode in a series just the episode you are watching and then the last episode of the series. Mind you I have on occasions had to run through each episode

I still find it very disappointing that Sky don't listen to their customers and don't see optimising customer experience as a priority and don't realise that 'smnall things matter' when customers have a choice.

The continue watching issues have been raised numerous times by superusers .... I believe it's quite a complicated function as it's drawing meta data not just from sky servers but also the plethora of other catchup services.

If its because its linked to the other apps, e.g iPlayer, surely if I removed it from CW on the parent (iplayer) it wouldn't appear in my Sky Stream CW list. Surely there is easier functionality that could be added to the Sky User Interface, like Netflix, iPlayer etc that will allow the user to hide or remove? (After all its just a link)

The removing it from your iplayer continue watching can get a bit more complicated as the continue watching rail on the sky UI seeming covers shows you have watched from the sky device so if you went and watched episode one of a new show on iplayer via a phone or tablet it wouldn't be recognised on the sky continue watching rail.

I would certainly think sky could offer a hide functionality on their UI for shows on the continue watching rail and that is metadata being used purely for the Sky UI. Some sort of simple flagging mechanism could be used for it to k ow

@Dords even with my how to do it list it can still be hit and miss. The only saving grace is if you leave them long enough they will eventually drop off the end of the CW rail. The whole process is very frustrating.

I've yet to figure out how or why, but i've actually had 1 ITV X show, disappear from my CW rail, despite the fact i haven't done the trick of playing the current and last episode to make it disappear.

@MarkGoldsmith totally agree, however had some success, and it took many times and some luck to get it to work. It seems to work if you fast forward on the last episode until just after the last adverts and then let it run until the end (remembering to catch it before it automatically starts playing another TV show). Sometimes it works if you fast forward 5 mins after the last episode and sometimes 10 mins.

If you see content in your recently viewed section, it's likely because someone else is using your Netflix profile, or you accidentally selected it and backed out of it.

No. But, you can make some edits and delete the viewing history. If you initially set the account up for someone else and would now like to refresh it for yourself, the original profile will need to remain.

The Prime Video app on a mobile phone does not offer a way to remove previously watched items from your history. Therefore, you will have to use a computer browser to access this list and hide items from there.
