How To Get Rid Of Continue Watching On Amazon Prime

Okay, let's talk about something seriously important: that pesky "Continue Watching" row on Amazon Prime Video. It's like that one friend who always shows up uninvited, reminding you of shows you kinda, sorta, maybe started but definitely don't want to finish. Fear not! Victory is within your grasp.

Operation: Clean Slate – Your Viewing History Rescue Mission

First, head over to your Amazon account. You know, where you buy everything from toilet paper to that questionable kitchen gadget you saw on TikTok. Log in, of course – gotta prove you're the master of your own streaming destiny!

Digging into Your Viewing History

Now, find "Accounts & Lists." Hover over it, and a glorious cascade of options will appear, like a menu of streaming domination. Look for "Video Purchases & Rentals" and click it with the force of a thousand suns.

Prepare yourself. You're about to enter the Viewing History Zone. Here, you'll see a list of all your streaming sins – I mean, viewing choices. Don't judge yourself too harshly; we've all been there.

Find the offending show or movie that's haunting your "Continue Watching" row. See that little "Hide this from Browse"? Click it! Click it like your life depends on it. Banish that show to the digital wilderness!

The "Rate This Video" Trick – Because We're All Critics

There's another sneaky way to get rid of those unwanted titles: the "Rate This Video" option. Next to each title, you might see a prompt asking you to rate it. This usually occurs immediately after you've watched the content.

If you rate the video – give it a generous five stars if you're feeling magnanimous, or a scathing one star if it deserves it – Amazon often assumes you're done with it and removes it from the dreaded row. It’s like saying, "I've rendered my judgment! Begone!"

The Nuclear Option: Clear Your Entire Watch History

Okay, this is the big guns. If you're feeling particularly brave (or you just watched something truly embarrassing and want to erase all evidence), you can clear your entire watch history. Be warned, though: this is a scorched-earth policy. Everything goes!

Look for the "Settings" gear icon – usually in the top right corner. Then look for "Watch History." There is a clear button, click that button to clear you entire watch history.

The Mobile Maneuver: Conquering Your Phone or Tablet

Don't think you're safe just because you primarily stream on your phone or tablet. The "Continue Watching" menace lurks there too! Thankfully, the process is pretty similar. Open your Amazon Prime Video app.

Tap on your profile icon and navigate to "Settings." Then find "Clear Video History" or similar. Follow the prompts, and boom! Your mobile viewing history is cleansed. It's like a digital spa day for your phone.

Remember to clear the browser history on your phone for maximum effectiveness!

A Word of Caution (and a Dash of Paranoia)

Sometimes, even after all these valiant efforts, those stubborn shows might linger. It's rare, but it happens. Don't despair! Just repeat the steps, maybe sacrifice a small, digital offering to the streaming gods, and eventually, they'll relent.

And always remember to sign out and back in. This will often force the app to refresh and finally recognize your hard-won victories. It's like telling Amazon, "See? I meant what I said!"

So, go forth and conquer your "Continue Watching" row! You are the master of your streaming destiny. And may your viewing experience be forever free of unwanted reminders of half-watched shows and fleeting interests!
