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.
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.
Acorn is lying. Why would roku control that. Doesn't work on my tablet either,, so how does roku control an android device? Other streamers can write code that does the job, but Acorn IT is apparently incompetent. There's a reason those coders don't work for Amazon.:)

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.
Netflix allows you to delete some or all of your watch history. This is a handy feature to use whether you want to delete content from your Continue Watching row or train Netflix to provide better recommendations.
