I'm unable to clear a Netflix show from the Continue Watching line on my Roku Ultra home screen. I've tried to use the asterisk button on the remote, but when I click on the "remove" option it doesn't do anything. I've tried a system reset, I've gone into Netflix and removed it from the Continue Watching section there. Nothing I've tried has fixed this. It appears on two TV's, both Roku Ultra's. Even the option to turn this line off would be useful. Any help would be appreciated.
A big Search box AND a Continue Watching line showed up when I decided to change my screen saver. I don't want either of these "features." And like you, the asterisk/options to remove shows from the list doesn't work. If I want to continue watching something, I'll open that app. I don't want/need Roku to "think" for me. I'm using two Roku sticks. If I'd realized what caused the problem on the one, I wouldn't have changed the other.
If you are not inside the Roku Channel, there may be a different way with different channels. Please be advised that some publishers control what constitutes content completion (for example, end credits are shown). The arrangement has been completed; the channel makes a delete request to remove the content from the Continue Watching row.
I'm referring to the base home screen that you're taken to to select apps or channels from. It's not within any app or channel. The shows that appear in the list are based on other apps (Disney, Netflix, etc) and can't be removed via the asterisk remove function.
Simply having the option to turn this function off would be ideal. I don't need or want the function, it's just another place that I have to pay attention to in order to keep the kids from getting at more mature content that they shouldn't be.
The Home Screen on both of my Roku Sticks now has a large Search Box AND a Continue Watching list - and I don't want either of them. All I did was change my screensaver, and voila, two new "features" on the Home Screen that I don't have control over.
The "Continue Watching" feature on the Roku home screen is part of the Roku Operating System; thus, removing it is impossible. Please be advised that some publishers control what constitutes content completion (for example, end credits are shown). Once the arrangement has been completed, the channel makes a delete request to remove the content from the Continue Watching row.
Hope someone can help! There is a movie in my Save List, specifically Glass Onion, which is a Netflix movie. I want to delete that movie from my list, and there is no option to do so. I do understand that Netflix doesn't work with the Save List, which is the problem - the movie must have been in the My Feed queue before it changed over to Save List, and now it's stuck there. Just as you can't add a Netflix movie to your save list, you also, apparently, cannot delete a Netflix movie from the list.
I want to be very clear, before a rep responds, that I absolutely already know how to add and delete movies from my Save List the standard ways, and I do it all the time. However, the option to remove this particular item is just not there. But there must be some kind of recourse or workaround so it doesn't just remain stuck there forever.
So, any words of advice from the community? Anyone else had this issue and resolved it? If a rep can help, that would be great! (I also can't figure out how to contact Roku directly anymore, as used to be available.)
This issue is annoying me so much that I'd happily clear my entire Save List and re-add everything, just to get this one movie to disappear, lol. If that's an option, I also haven't figured out how to do that - how to clear the Save List (hopefully without doing a factory reset, which I'm not sure would even solve the problem).
Otherwise, search Google for "Roku telephone number" and look at the results just below the "People also ask" section. I tried to post one of the links (P***edConsumer.com), but my post got flagged and deleted.
For what it's worth, I managed to chat with a Roku representative, who was not able to help me at all. Like, AT ALL. Kept telling me to sign into Netflix and remove it from that list. Somehow I doubt that would help, because it's a separate list! Not to mention I am not even currently subscribed to Netflix - I don't even think it was in my Netflix queue, and I can't view it anyway, obviously. Regardless, there's another title stuck in my Roku Save list that has nothing to do with Netflix, and it too is stuck there.
OMG, I went in infuriating circles trying to explain this on the chat, and ended up basically being told there's nothing anyone can do about it. Not great, Roku. I'm pretty patient and understanding about most things, but ugh.
So the gist is, if there's a title which found its way onto your Save List in the past, and is currently either a Netflix title or not currently available to stream anywhere (aka "no providers found"), then you cannot delete it. And apparently Roku cannot or will not delete it for you. (Nor can you clear your entire Save List and start from scratch, apparently.) Seems like a system bug that needs to be fixed, and maybe I should report it that way, at least.
Again, that option doesn't exist on my app. I may have a different version of the app, I don't know, but it is not there - there are no dots at all when viewing the list as a whole, instead there's a box to check or uncheck on each title. I'll try to include some photos, to show what I'm seeing on my app:
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.
Since its establishment in 1997, Netflix has revolutionized how we watch television. Originally a DVD-by-mail service, the company has transformed itself into a global streaming platform with over 150 million subscribers. With a wide variety of content, including original programming, movies, and documentaries, there is something for everyone on Netflix.
While it's not necessary to keep a record of everything you've ever watched on Netflix, there are times when you want to check your watching history but are worried about how to watch it on Netflix. Whether you're trying to remember the name of a movie you saw a while ago or want to make sure you're keeping up with your New Year's resolution to watch more documentaries, your Netflix viewing history can be a helpful resource.
Netflix offers a variety of ways for you to view your history. You can see all the episodes you've watched on a particular show and how long you watched each episode. You can also see a list of all the movies and TV shows you've added to your watch history and when you added them. If you want to hide an episode from your history, click on the "x" next to the episode. If you have any problems with your recent episodes, you can report them by clicking on the "?" next to that episode.
Once the file is downloaded, it will be saved in CSV format. You can open the file using software like MS Excel etc. Another way to open the file is in Google Docs. Here's how to view the watch history file in CSV format in Google Docs.
Netflix is a Chrome extension that extracts data from a Netflix account and displays it so one can analyze some patterns and get the required information. The extension can also break this data down further, telling you how long you've spent watching different types of content (e.g., documentaries, comedies) and how much of your total viewing time has been dedicated to movies or TV shows. This information can be really helpful in understanding your own Netflix habits and seeing where you might want to make changes.
While Netflix offers exciting movies and series and throws some achievement awards to entertain users throughout the day, the downside offers children exposure to violent or adult videos, due to which kids may interpret these movies incorrectly, affecting their mentality and behavior.
If you want to use the alternative method of hiding watched titles, the Netflix app will route you to a web browser to complete the task. Here is how you remove viewed movies and shows on an Android device using a browser:
Now, you know how to clear the Continue Watching list on Netflix and remove individual titles across various devices. Remember, you have to delete individual episodes of shows unless you choose to remove everything. Once you have finished clearing out the list, you can watch any content you want, including those you have already watched.
@Jporch316 I imagine you are correct and it is independent of the playlist. CW can be very useful and a lot quicker than delving into the playlist. My gripe with it is the difficulty in removing items you no longer want to watch. There are a number of ways to do this but some programmes are harder than others.
