How To Clear Next Up For You On Firestick
Ready to tame that Next Up row on your Firestick? It's easier than you think! Let's dive in and declutter that digital space. Get ready for a cleaner, more organized streaming experience.
First Things First: Amazon Prime Video
Amazon Prime Video is often the main culprit for a cluttered Next Up row. To clear it, head directly to the Prime Video app. We'll be navigating its settings to get things spick and span.
Method 1: Watching is Key!
The simplest way is to finish what you started! Fully watch those shows or movies stuck in Next Up. Once you've reached the end credits, poof! They disappear from the row.

If you're not planning on finishing, fast forward to the very end. This tricks the system into thinking you've watched it all. Clever, right?
Method 2: The "Remove from Watch History" Trick
Navigate to your account settings within Prime Video. Then, find the "Watch History" section – it's where all your viewing data lives. Here, you can remove specific titles from your history.
Removing it from your history also gets rid of it from the Next Up. Say goodbye to those lingering episodes you have no intention of watching!
Digging into Individual App Settings
Sometimes, rogue titles can get stuck from other streaming apps. Each app handles its "Next Up" or "Continue Watching" feature differently. So, we'll need to go in and tweak those individually.
Netflix: The Profile Management Route
Open the Netflix app on your Firestick. Switch to the profile that has the offending titles. Now, go to Account settings through a browser (on your phone or computer) – you can't do it directly on the Firestick app.
Find the "Viewing Activity" section for that profile. Here you'll see everything you've watched! Look for those shows in your list and remove them from your viewing activity.
Hulu: The "Watch History" Cleanse
Hulu's approach is fairly straightforward. Access your account settings, usually found by clicking on your profile icon. Look for a "Watch History" area or something similarly named.
From there, you can select and remove individual shows or movies. This should remove them from your Next Up suggestions on Hulu within the Firestick app.
Other Apps: Explore and Conquer!
For other streaming services like Disney+, HBO Max, or Paramount+, the process is similar. Dive into their account or settings menus. Hunt down "Watch History," "Continue Watching," or "Viewing Activity" sections.
The key is to explore the settings within each app. Find where they store your viewing data and then remove the unwanted titles.
A Few Extra Tips and Tricks
Restarting your Firestick can sometimes help clear out lingering data. Think of it as a quick refresh for your streaming device. It can resolve minor glitches affecting the Next Up row.
Clearing the cache for individual apps can also do the trick. Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications. Select the app and then clear its cache.
Finally, remember that sometimes it takes a little time for changes to reflect. Be patient and check back later to see if the titles have disappeared.
With a little patience and these simple steps, you can reclaim your Firestick's Next Up row. Get ready for a cleaner, more curated streaming experience!
