How to Easily Remove Titles from Your Netflix Continue Watching List

We've all been there – starting a new series or movie on Netflix, only to realize that it's not what we expected. So what do we do? We hit the back button and search for something else to watch. But the problem is, our Continue Watching list ends up cluttered with unfinished titles. Luckily, Netflix now allows you to quickly remove titles from your Continue Watching list on various devices, including desktop, mobile, and smart TVs. In this article, we'll guide you through the simple steps to clean up your list and make your Netflix experience more enjoyable.

Desktop and Browser

Whether you're using Netflix on your desktop or web browser, the steps to remove titles from your Continue Watching list are the same.

1. Open Netflix and sign in to your account.
2. Select your profile.
3. Scroll to the “Continue Watching for [name]” section.
4. Hover your mouse over the title you want to remove and click on the “X” icon that appears. It will say “Remove from row” when you hover over it.

5. Netflix will show a pop-up asking for the reason behind removing the title. Choose an option and the title will be removed.

Please note that if you vote up or down, it may affect the recommendations Netflix provides in the future based on their algorithm. If you want to avoid this, select the “Just cleaning up” option.

Mobile Apps

The steps to remove titles from your Continue Watching list on Netflix's mobile apps for Android and iOS are similar to the desktop and browser steps.

1. Open the Netflix app and select your profile.
2. Scroll to the “Continue Watching for [name]” section.
3. Tap on the three-dot menu icon below the title.
4. Select the “Remove from row” option at the bottom of the menu.

5. Tap on the “Remove” button to confirm.

Unlike desktop and browser, the mobile apps don't ask for feedback on why you want to remove a specific title from your Continue Watching list.

Smart TVs

If you're using Netflix on an Android or Samsung smart TV, you can also remove titles from your Continue Watching list with ease.

1. Open Netflix on your smart TV.
2. Scroll to the Continue Watching list and select the show or movie you want to remove.
3. Scroll through the options below the description and select “Remove from Continue Watching.”

That's it! Your chosen title will be removed from your Continue Watching list.

Bonus Tip: Create a Binge-Watching Profile

Here's a neat little trick for avid rewatchers. If you frequently rewatch old shows or movies, consider creating a new profile exclusively for binge-watching. This way, your original profile will remain clutter-free, and you can even create a new Continue Watching list. Whenever you open a movie or show using this profile, it will be automatically added to the list.
