How To Remove Movies From Netflix Continue Watching List

Okay, let's be real. We all have that one show stuck in our Netflix "Continue Watching" list. It's been there for months. Maybe even years.

The Eternal Watchlist

It’s like a digital reminder of our abandoned ambitions. A monument to half-watched episodes and forgotten plotlines. I'm not judging. Well, maybe a little.

The Shame Spiral

Seriously, does Netflix think I'm actually going to finish that documentary about competitive cheese sculpting? Probably not. It’s judging me. You too.

And don't even get me started on the reality TV show my friend forced me to watch one time. It haunts me to this day. It's like the digital version of that fruitcake your Aunt Mildred sends every Christmas.

The Great Netflix Purge

But fear not! There is a way out. A path to freedom from the tyranny of the "Continue Watching" purgatory. Prepare for action!

Operation: Clean Slate

First, fire up your Netflix. On a computer, I mean. This is important. The mobile app is basically useless for this.

Hover over your profile icon. You know, the little circle with your face (or a cartoon character) in the corner. A menu should appear.

Account Settings: The Gateway

Click on "Account." This is where the magic happens. Or, at least, where the mildly tedious process begins.

Scroll down (and down, and down...) until you find "Profile & Parental Controls." Then select your profile.

Look for "Viewing Activity." Click on that bad boy. Brace yourself.

The Hall of Shame (aka Viewing Activity)

Here it is. Every single thing you’ve ever watched on Netflix. Laid bare for the world (or, you know, just you) to see. Don’t panic!

Now, find the offending movie or show. The one you’re desperate to banish from your sight. The one that mocks you with its incomplete status.

See that little "Hide from viewing history" button next to it? Click it. Click it with gusto! Feel the power surge through you!

You can also click the small circle to the right of the title. Select the option to "Report a Problem". Netflix will ask if you want to rate it. Rate it! Then you can select to hide it from history. It's your chance to rate that horrible show that your friend likes!

Victory is Yours!

Give it a few minutes (sometimes Netflix is a little slow on the uptake). Then, go back to your "Continue Watching" list.

Behold! It's gone! Vanished! Erased from existence! Well, almost. It's still in your viewing history, but at least it's not taunting you anymore.

Repeat this process for every movie or show you want to banish. It might take a while, but think of it as therapy. Digital decluttering. A fresh start. A new beginning.

A Word of Warning

Be careful what you hide! You might accidentally remove something you actually wanted to watch. Then you'll have to search for it again. The horror!

Also, this doesn't stop Netflix from recommending similar shows. Prepare to be bombarded with more cheese sculpting documentaries. It’s a vicious cycle.

But hey, at least your "Continue Watching" list is clean(er). And that's a victory in itself, right? Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some serious digital decluttering to do.

Pro Tip: Clear the entire list. Start fresh. Live dangerously! Just kidding (mostly).

Disclaimer: Results may vary. Netflix algorithms are mysterious and unpredictable. But hopefully, this helps you reclaim your watchlist and your sanity. Good luck, brave warrior!
