How To Remove A Movie From Continue Watching On Netflix

Okay, let's talk about the dreaded "Continue Watching" list on Netflix. You know, that digital hall of shame where unfinished movies and shows go to haunt your streaming experience? Fear not, brave streamer! Victory is within your grasp. You can say goodbye to those unwanted titles with a few simple clicks!

Removing Movies and Shows - The Great Escape

First things first, fire up your Netflix. Get comfy, grab your remote (or mouse), and prepare for some digital spring cleaning.

Method 1: The Website Wonder

Head over to the Netflix website on your computer or mobile browser. Log in like the streaming superstar you are.

Now, find your profile icon in the top right corner. Click on it, and from the dropdown menu, select "Account." Prepare for a whirlwind tour of your Netflix settings!

Scroll down (keep scrolling!) until you see "Profile & Parental Controls." It's usually somewhere in the middle. Click the little arrow next to your profile name. You know, the one that's currently plagued by the ghosts of unfinished rom-coms.

Aha! You've found it! Now click on "Viewing Activity." This is where the magic happens. This is where you get to rewrite history. Or, you know, remove a movie you accidentally watched five minutes of and decided was definitely not for you.

You'll see a chronological list of everything you've watched on Netflix. Everything! It's like a digital diary of your viewing habits. Find the offending movie or show you want to banish. Next to the title, you'll see a little circle with a line through it. This is your "hide from viewing history" button. Click it!

Clicking that hides the individual episode or movie. But, wait, there's more! If it's a series, and you want to remove the whole darn thing, a prompt will appear asking if you want to remove the entire series. Choose wisely, my friend. Choose wisely.

Netflix says it can take up to 24 hours for changes to reflect on all your devices, but honestly, it's usually pretty quick. Like, "grab another snack and check" quick.

Method 2: The App Adventure

If you are using the Netflix app, the process is slightly different, but don't panic! It is still very straightforward.

Open the app and tap your profile icon. Locate the three dots, either at the top right or bottom right corner (depending on your device). This is the gateway to profile settings.

Tap on "Account." This will open your account settings in your device's browser. Now you are back on familiar territory, you can follow the steps in "Method 1: The Website Wonder."

Troubleshooting Time (because technology is sometimes a jerk)

Is the movie still stubbornly clinging to your "Continue Watching" list? Don't lose hope!

Try refreshing your Netflix app or browser. Sometimes a simple refresh is all it takes to banish those stubborn titles to the digital abyss.

If that doesn't work, try signing out of Netflix and signing back in. It's like giving Netflix a little kick in the pants to remind it who's boss. And that boss, my friend, is you!

Still no luck? As a last resort, try clearing your Netflix app's cache. This will clear out any temporary files that might be causing the problem. But beware! This might log you out of the app so you'll need to re-enter your details.

So there you have it! With these tips and tricks, you can conquer that "Continue Watching" list and reclaim your streaming sanity. Now go forth and binge-watch with a clean conscience (and a perfectly curated list!).

Happy streaming!
