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.

The feature of "because you watched" can not be reset or turned off. I don't want people and guests seeing what I watched. However, this feature can't be reset. Roku will will then suggest other types of movies it thinks are related. People think I'm a freak or ideologically bereft. I'm going to erase my account and go to a firestick where they do not have such an inane feature. Roku refuses to fix this problem.

Can you please provide more information about the issue you are seeing? Can you provide a screenshot of within The Roku Channel so we can better understand what the issue is? When you select content within this section, can you press the * button and have the ability to remove that content?

I don't know away either. The watched history is different and does have a clear option. It's Roku's menu that is holding their suggestions to the movie in need of removing. No way to unlink,clear or delete.

Agreed, the "because you watched" feature needs to be removed, or at least have a way to clear the "suggestions". Its very annoying to most users and may cause uncomfortable situations with people who don't want others to see what they may have watched at one time or another.

This issue has nothing to do with the Save List. It's almost like you're not reading all of the complaints about this issue. It has to do with the suggestions row that will come on the home screen of the Roku Channel. My teenaged son watched an explicit movie and now we have a suggestion row on our home screen "Because You Watched Live Nude Girls" and it shows us several more explicit movies. We get this right on the top of the Roku Channel home screen, so it assaults us every time we go to the Roku Channel. So we don't go to the Roku Channel anymore. Not sure that's what you want.

Thanks for responding. As you can see from the several posts on this topic, this is a major issue for many of us. I have parental controls set, but my teenager discovered my PIN. (Teenagers work hard to get around the rules.) I have since changed my PIN, but us parents can use all the help we can get. Can you please tell the team responsible for the change to make this a top priority? Can it be made an option to keep or delete? The suggestions can be worthwhile, but they also can be problematic. Let the user decide. Please fix this. Thanks

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.

When you delete your Netflix account, it takes about ten months for all accompanying data to disappear. This scenario means you can recover your account with your watch history within that timeframe after you cancel your subscription.

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.

Click the edit option to update the name and profile picture. Then, delete all of the viewing activity to start fresh. This action removes all watched content, but it also removes the continued watching content and the biased recommendations based on previously streamed genres.

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.

But before we outline those steps, you should know that you can easily remove items from the Continue watching section of the Prime Video app by touching and holding an item and choosing Hide this video.

Unlike Netflix, Amazon Prime Video does not offer a way to delete all movies and TV shows from your watch history. Therefore, you will have to remove them individually, or you can delete the profile to get rid of your entire watch history.

Netflix and Prime Video let you create profiles so different people can have their separate personalized experiences. For instance, you can have the main profile, and create additional ones for your spouse and your kids.

While you cannot delete your main profile on Netflix and Prime Video, you can delete the other profiles to remove all its watch history and associated data like watchlist history, Continue Watching, etc.

I was trying to find an official statement about it, which I'm pretty sure exists since I remember reading about it a while ago, but it seems that the Netflix help has changed and it's hard to find what you are looking for.

That's not entirely true. You can now find your history and remove the logs of your viewing. They try to force you manually to click on a lot to remove everything but if you do it will remove your viewing history and revert to showing you starting at the beginning of episodes. I confirmed this on my account.
