Tired of getting Netflix recommendations [1] based off that one show you stopped watching [2] after two episodes? Good news: you can remove something from your Netflix viewing history to make that stop! Instead of having a bunch of shows you haven't watched in ages clogging up your "continue watching" feed — and skewing your recommendations — there's a handy feature that lets you remove the stuff you don't want in your viewing history anymore. It's a simple hack [3] that lets you remove individual episodes or movies or entire shows from your history, so you've only got the stuff you actually want in the algorithm. Follow these easy steps to clear out your Netflix history now!

Step 1: View Homepage

Start off on your Netflix homepage, where you can see your "continue watching" row along with trends and recommendations. Make sure you're on your own profile, if you're on a device or account that has multiple.

Step 2: Select "Account"

In the upper-right corner of your screen, select "Account" under the drop-down menu. Again, make sure you're selecting the correct profile if there are multiple.

Step 3: Open Viewing Activity

When you arrive on your profile page, you'll have to scroll all the way to the bottom, under the section labeled "Profile & Parental Controls." Click the blue "View" link on the right next to the "Viewing Activity" option.

Step 4: Find the Show to Delete

You'll be presented with a long list of every episode and movie you've watched, along with dates (yes, please enjoy this revelation of what yours truly has been watching lately). When you find the show you want to remove, click the little line-within-a-circle symbol on the far right next to your choice.

Step 5: Clear an Entire Show

If you want to clear out an entire show from your viewing history, you'll see an option after deleting one episode to "Hide Series." Clicking this option will remove every episode of the show from your viewing history and will mean that Netflix's algorithm will no longer take it into account for recommending you new shows and movies.
