Delete Recently Watched History from Netflix

Log on to netflix.com using your web browser. Select your profile. When the list of online content titles pops up, select your profile. Each profile has a separate viewing activity list. In the activity list that appears now, visit your Viewing Activity page. Here you will notice a list of your recent shows. You can also get here by clicking the square profile icon in the top right. Next, select Your Account from the drop-down menu, then scroll down and click ‘Viewing Activity‘ in the ‘My Profile section‘.

Click the gray “X” that appears to the right of a movie name. When prompted with the message to remove the series alongside the message attached, click the link. This clears the specific content from your recently watched history. This way, you can hide or remove individual titles or series and clear the specific content from your “Recently watched” history on Netflix.  Once hidden or removed from your viewing activity page, the title will no longer show up in your ‘Recently Watched’ or ‘Continue Watching row’, and Netflix will no longer have access to it to make recommendations for you. Please note that once a title has been hidden from your viewing activity, it cannot be added again unless you play that title again.

The changes made, may take some time (up to 24 hours to be completely removed) to reflect on your devices. That’s all to it! Have any questions to ask, write them in the comments section below.
