    Thank you! I had no idea holding down on the show would allow the box to pop up so you can hide the show/movie! I knew there had to be a way!

    Outdated information. A lot of it is not correct. For example, the part where it says the big X should appear on the main website (with PC) is not there. I suggest going back and rechecking everything and updating this article accordingly.

      Hello M.Newberry!

      Launch the Prime Video app on your TV and go to Home to see the Continue watching section. Select the video you want to remove and long press the OK button on your remote. On the right side, you should see Hide this movie option. Click on the option to remove it.

      If your remote has a 3 horizontal lines button, select the video on the Continue watching section and click that button. A menu should appear with Remove or Add option.

      I hope this helps.
