How To Remove Shows From Continue Watching On Prime

The Great Prime Video Purge: Operation "Clean Up My Continue Watching"

Let's be honest. Your Continue Watching list on Prime Video? It's a digital graveyard. Filled with half-watched shows. And that one movie you accidentally clicked on at 3 AM.

Fear not! We're about to embark on a journey. A journey to declutter that digital wasteland. Get ready to wield your metaphorical cleaning supplies.

Mission Briefing: Removing the Unwanted

First, head over to the Prime Video website. Sorry, phone app users, this is a desktop mission. Find the 'Continue Watching' section. It's usually staring you right in the face, judging your viewing habits.

Hover your mouse of the shows to be removed. An "X" will appear on the lower left corner of the show. Click on it. It's like saying goodbye to a bad date - liberating.

Advanced Techniques: The "Watch Something Else" Strategy

Now, for the trickier cases. Sometimes, the "X" refuses to appear. Prime Video clings to these shows. It thinks you'll eventually finish that documentary about competitive cheese sculpting.

The solution? Watch something else. Something, anything, that will push the offending show down the list. A digital form of burying the evidence, if you will.

The "Nuclear Option": My Watchlist

If all else fails, there's the nuclear option: My Watchlist. Add the show to your watchlist. Then, remove it from your watchlist. Boom. Vanished.

It's a bit of a roundabout way, I know. But desperation calls for desperate measures. Think of it as a digital exorcism.

Confronting the Root Cause: Accidental Clicks

We've all been there. Late night browsing leads to accidental clicks. Suddenly, your Continue Watching list is populated with kids' cartoons. Even though you don't have kids.

The key? Awareness. Be mindful of your clicks. Especially when tired. And maybe invest in a screen protector. Prevents accidental taps, you know?

My (Potentially Unpopular) Opinion: The Shame Spiral

Okay, confession time. Sometimes, I deliberately leave shows on my Continue Watching list. Not because I intend to finish them.

But because they make me feel slightly cultured. Like, "Oh, I'm totally going to get around to watching that obscure foreign film." It's a lie, of course. But a comforting one.

The Joy of a Clean Slate

There's something deeply satisfying about a clean Continue Watching list. It's a fresh start. A chance to binge-watch responsibly.

Or, you know, accidentally click on another random movie at 3 AM. The cycle continues.

A Final Word (or Two)

So, go forth and conquer your Continue Watching list. Declutter. Reclaim your digital space. And remember. No one needs to know about your cheese sculpting obsession.

Except, well, you now know that I now do. Happy cleaning!
