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.
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. Under the account settings, you can view login activity.First, check for any devices that don't belong to you (or locations that aren't near you). You can click the option to Sign Out of all Devices and change your password to secure your account.

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 app nor stream website do not offer that option. The x1 devices have a preferences/general setting for turning off recently watched history. Try turning that off and see if it stops teh stream app saving the same data. Let us know.
I have a new (TCL/Roku) smart TV. It is not at all practical to connect it physically to an X1 device and am streaming only. Am I correct that I must live with not being able to delete movies from the recently watched list?
I'm using a Flex box and while hIghlighting the show I wanted to remove I was able to press the info button to the right of Voice on my remote and choose "Clear History". Option to remove just that one, or all history.
To delete your Netflix watch history, access your Netflix profile, then go to the Viewing activity section to see your Netflix history. You can delete Netflix movies and shows from the list one by one or clear all of them in one shot.
When you delete shows or movies from your Netflix watch history, the titles will not appear as watched, will not be used to bolster your recommendations, and will be removed from the Continue Watching horizontal row in the app.
6) Now you can carefully close again each tab you had re-opened in step 2 to 'simulate' they just had been recently closed and feed that list back to what it was when you found it. Make sure you close each tab in the same order they were originally on the list, meaning from left to right if you started re-opening them from bottom to top and from right to left if you started re-opening them from top to bottom of the list.
There are a number of Chrome folders and files which can be safely deleted to clear contents and then automatically recreated "clean" when Chrome is reopened. The "History" file at C:\Users\YourUserID\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default is another example.
I was pleased to see that Chromecast added a feature to clear out the continue watching area as that has always seemed to fill up with things even though I have watched through. However, the "hide" feature does not work. The program in question just pops right back up a second after I hide it. I have tried clearing the cache. I have tried restarting the Chromecast device. I have tried hiding or removing the program from the actual app's history. None of that works. I don't understand how this is still a glitch when each individual app can delete a program from the viewing history. Is there a solution to this? All similar questions seem to get locked after they are told to just long press and hide, but that doesn't work, so what now?
Hey there,
I apologize about the late response on this thread, thank you for being patient! I was personally able to re-create this issue, so it may be an issue with Google TV UI. If your Chromecast's firmware is up-to-date, please submit feedback via Google TV to let the Google Engineering team know about this interaction. While they won't respond directly back to you, this is the best way to let them know about issues. The more feedback they receive, the higher priority the issue becomes.
Neither. The main for you page of the Chromecast home screen has a "continue watching" area. If you long press the tv show/movie, there is a "hide" option, only it hides nothing. The program sometimes remains there in the continue watching queue and sometimes disappears briefly, but reappears again. There's no way to truly clear out the continue watching queue. I personally have tried also clearing the programs from the queues in each individual app as well, but it still continues to show in the main Chromecast list.
No problem at all! Thank you for doing that, every bit of feedback that Google receives helps them narrow down, prioritize, and resolve issues. I'll keep this thread open a bit longer and follow-up with the others to see if anyone has any more questions.
I apologized about that. I already asked one of my colleagues from the Speakers and Display Community forum to reopen your thread to further assist you. Please revisit your thread and continue from there.
Just checking in to make sure that you've seen my response. Please let me know if you have other questions or concerns as I will be locking this in 24 hours if I won't hear back from you again. Feel free to start a new thread and we'll be happy to help.
