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
So, I see there's still no solution. The Roku channel is making suggestions that I don't want it to make, based on movies I've deleted from "continue watching". It's a simple fix, from a developer standpoint. That you haven't added some option to solve it says a lot about your company.
Go to the upper menu (Home, Live TV, Guide, "My Library", etc) Move your selection all the way to the right through your "Watched History" movies. At the end there should be a clear selections option, "Watchlist" also has this option...
ROKU used to have this option. They deleted it. They deleted it, because they are gathering as much information as they can....Allowing YOU to delete the movies you have watched depletes their data mining process......So....If you and your wife watch a movie that is very adult, and your kids use the same TV, they get to see the movie Mommy and Daddy was watching.....Or maybe a movie you don't want your wife to know you watched...lol.....There IS NO SOLUTION TO THIS EXCEPT THIS!!!! Go into your search on the main screen, and keep searching cooking, and baking....You'll get cooking and baking shows replacing any racy movie you may have stumbled upon......It's the only way until ROKU puts the delete feature back. Plus, it screws up the data mining process.....I am not 100% sure if this will work 100%, but I tried it, and it seems to work? Anyway, ROKU is selling data to the Chinese just like google, Facebook, and Microsoft. Good Luck, ROKU wont help you, their customer service pretends like they don't even know what you mean, when they darn well know! Betcha they delete this post.
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 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.
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.

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.
