How to Clear Recently Watched Movies on Netflix

Netflix is a popular streaming service that keeps track of the content users watch, including recently watched movies and shows. If you want to clear your viewing history, it's easy to do so. Learn how to remove specific titles from your viewing history and how these changes can impact your personalized recommendations.

Steps to Clear Recently Watched Movies on Netflix

1. Log in to Your Account

To start, open the Netflix website in your web browser and log in to your account. If you are not logged in, click on the 'Sign in' button in the top-right corner of the page, enter your email address and password, and sign in.

2. Access Your Profile

Once logged in, click on your profile icon in the upper right corner of the page. This will open a drop-down menu where you can manage your profile settings.

3. Manage Viewing Activity

Scroll down to the 'Settings' section and click on 'Manage Viewing Activity'. This will take you to a page where you can see a list of all the titles you have watched and in what order.

4. Remove a Specific Title

Locate the specific movie or episode you want to remove from your viewing history. Next, click on the icon with a slash through it, which is to the right of the title. This action will remove the title from your viewing activity list. Netflix will also stop sending you recommendations based on this specific title.

For removing an entire show, click on the link in the notification that appears after you click the remove icon. This process may take up to 24 hours to become effective across all devices, such as mobile platforms, consoles, or smart TVs.

Steps for Detailed Removal

1. Open the Profile Selection Page

If you are already logged in, the first step may already be skipped. However, if you are not logged in, follow the login process mentioned above.

2. Select Your Profile

Click on the icon and name for your Netflix user profile. If you only have one user profile, you may skip this step.

3. Access Account Settings

Put your mouse cursor over the profile icon in the top-right corner of the page. A drop-down menu will appear. Click on 'Account' to open your account settings page.

4. Navigate to Viewing Activity

Scroll down to find and click on 'Viewing activity'. This link is located in the middle column of the account settings page.

5. Remove a Movie or Episode

Scroll through the list of entries until you find the title of an episode or a show that you want to remove. If you want to see older entries, you can scroll all the way down. Click the icon with a slash through it to the right of the movie or episode title. This action will immediately remove the movie or episode from your viewing activity list, and Netflix will stop sending you related recommendations.

Important Notes

Clearing your viewing history can affect the personalized recommendations Netflix provides. If you no longer want to see recommendations based on a specific movie or show, removing it from your viewing history is a good option. However, keep in mind that changes may not immediately reflect on all devices, so it can take up to 24 hours for the changes to become effective.
