Amazon Prime’s Continue Watching section allows you to resume the video from where you’ve last stopped. Although it makes your streaming easier, it looks cluttered on your home screen if you do not clear it. You might want to remove the show you no longer intend to continue. Or you might just want to hide your watchlists from others.
Luckily you can edit the Continue Watching menu from your PC or website. For mobile app users, there’s a different menu for removing the video from this section. We will discuss how to do it in this article.
