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.

it's driving me insane to have an accumulation of channels that I have no interest in watching in my recently watched. when I go to Claire it does nothing except make up "bing" noise. I have removed the app reset my Roku reinstalled the app the items continue there still won't clear recently watched channels, I've even done a Roku device factory default reset and it's still happening on all of my devices. How can I fix this or is it ROKU that has to fix this via an update?
This has been happening to me also. I've removed the Roku channel and re-installed it, attempted to delete the offending programming - usually OAN, Fox, Newsmax etc., all programming my elderly father watches while staying with me and the shows remain.
Last month, Roku placed these and similar programs in the Featured live TV line and apparently, enough people complained and asked that the shows be removed. it took a bit, but Roku finally removed the unwanted content. It appears it's time for that to happen again.
Also, I'd like an option that once a channel - OAN for example is removed - it CANNOT be resurrected. I block that BS for a reason. I DO NOT want it. How do I get this point to stick with the folks at Roku??!!
You can remove the content by using an online account, but after you remove it, the content returns. Even after a restart. There is no ability to remove the content using the streaming device on your TV. You receive no error messages. As I said, I want ALL right wing TV nonsense - Fox News Now, Real America's Voice, OAN and Newsmax 2 PERMANENTLY REMOVED from my TV. I shouldn't have to repeatedly perform the action to remove this trash and once the content is removed it should remain OFF my TV. Thanks,
Eunice - I've taken the app off and added it back on my TV and that does nothing. I've also gone online to my Roku account to the live channel. I can temporarily remove the offending trash from the recently watched line, but after a short time, it returns - even on my online Roku account. It's almost as if these programs are resistent to being taken off. If their programming weren't so flawed and erroneuos, I wouldn't have a problem keeping it in the queue. However, it's nothing but a bunch of misleading lies and misinformation. I DO NOT want it on my TV - PERIOD!
Hi - I receive no error messages after removing, reinstalling and restarting the app on my TV. This nonsense just keeps coming back after the restart. I can remove it from my online account and the same thing happens. This stuff just keeps returning like the proverbial bad penny.
My subscription is directly with Acorn via their website, and viewed via the Acorn TV channel app on my Rokus. At the top of my screen, I select My Acorn TV, then under Recently Watched I can click on a show graphic and choose Remove from Recently Watched.
If you subscribed through Roku instead of directly with Acorn, I expect you have to view through The Roku Channel. If that at doesn't give you the Remove from Recently Watched option you may want to cancel your Acorn subscription thru Roku. When your pre-paid subscription period runs out you could then subscribe directly on acorn.tv and use the Roku Acorn TV app.
I am having the same problem and subscribed to Acorn on their website. They told me this is an issue with Roku and not with them. I had no problems for a couple of months and then it started 2 weeks ago. I also had an issue where watched episodes didn't show the "red bar" of being watched. That has since resolved.
If the issue remains unresolved, I'd recommend reaching out to Acorn TV directly to report the issue and request additional support. Many channels on the Roku platform are developed and maintained by the channel provider directly, and they'll be able to best assist. If other channels are working correctly, and you only experience this issue on the Acorn TV channel (app), that is likely an indication that the issue lies within that particular channel. In these cases, the channel provider will need to investigate the issue in order to help resolve it.
I've had this problem for a while now. I also reached out to Acorn TV and they said it's a Roku problem because they don't have the Remove From Recently Watched button. I can now get it to work on Midsomer Murders, but nothing else. I have movies that I watched a few minutes of and didn't like. I'd like to remove them, but can't. I hope this is something that Roku can fix.
Acorn support is lying to you about the ability to delete recently watched episodes and Roku. If this was truly Roku controlling this function why is it also impossible to delete recently watched episodes on a PC or a tablet or phone? These devices are not in control of Roku. The fact of the matter is that they just won't do it. It was an available function for years, easy to do and made sense. Now, unless they have a band of incompetent web developers I can't understand why this isn't available at least on devices other than Roku.
I got the same problem where it is impossible to remove 9 recently watch programs because it can only read but cannot write the info were ever on earth that info is being store and who doing the storing. Its attempts a write, selection remove recently watch disappear for a brief second, rereads the data and selection "Remove Recently Watch" reappears with always the same info of the pickup point. It's the same info as last successful write that was over 4 weeks ago. Even attempt to truncate them by putting over 50 shows on recently watch list. Maximum shown on list is 30. Then I remove the 50 shows from recently watch list with no problems, but those old 9 shows reappear. Only a hardware technician can fix this problem but by which company. Acorn says it Roku and a person has a better chance of winning the lottery then contacting Roku. If I had a monthly subscription, I would cancel but problem is I have an annual subscription. So, I will need to manual write down the shows of those nine that always show the same point left off 4 weeks ago and will never change. That cross that I must bear won't be as bad when I got all shows watch from those 9 and are push to the right out of view.
