Netflix’s “Continue Watching” row can get pretty cluttered with shows you’ve abandoned or accidentally clicked. Let’s walk through how to clean up this section and take back control of your Netflix homepage.
Quick Cleanup from Your Device
The easiest way to remove titles from Continue Watching is right from your device. Here’s what you’ll want to do:
– Open Netflix and scroll to the Continue Watching row
– Find the title you want to remove
– Click the three dots (⋮) or down arrow below the title
– Select “Remove from Continue Watching”
Just like that, the show disappears! It’s really satisfying to declutter your viewing list this way, kind of like cleaning out your closet.
Managing from Your Web Browser
Sometimes you want to do a bigger cleanup, and the website offers more control:
1. Go to Netflix.com and log in
2. Click your profile icon
3. Select “Account”
4. Scroll to Profile & Parental Controls
5. Click your profile
6. Select “Viewing Activity”
7. Click the hide icon (✕) next to any title
Hidden Bonus Tip
Here’s something many people don’t know – when you remove a show from your viewing activity, Netflix will also forget where you left off. This is perfect if you want to start a series fresh without Netflix jumping to your last watched episode.
Preventing Future Clutter
To keep your Continue Watching row manageable, I recommend:
– Removing titles as soon as you decide not to continue watching
– Being careful about what you click (accidental clicks can add unwanted shows)
– Regularly reviewing and cleaning up your list (maybe monthly)
When Things Get Stuck
Sometimes a title just won’t budge from your Continue Watching row. If this happens:
1. Sign out of all devices
2. Clear your browser cache
3. Sign back in
4. Try removing the title again
Think of it like forcing your Netflix account to do a quick reset – it usually does the trick!
Remember, a tidy Netflix homepage makes for a better streaming experience. It’s much easier to find what you actually want to watch when you’re not scrolling past dozens of abandoned shows. Plus, it gives you a fresh start when you’re ready to discover new content without the guilt of all those half-watched series staring back at you.
