How to remove continue watching from amazon prime on tv

Streaming on Amazon Prime Videowill give you access to Amazon Originals like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, The Boys, The Grand Tour, Bosch, and 7500. There are also movies like The Lie, One Night in Miami, Black Box, The Map of Tiny Perfect Things, Sound of Metal, and I’m Your Woman.

With many titles to watch, you may have a hard time choosing what to stream for a few hours. What you can do is to queue them on your Watch Next List, so you would not forget them later on.

Amazon Prime Video allows users to save titles that they want to continue watching later. It will be frustrating to scroll through thousands of content just to look for the movie that you want to finish watching. With the Watch Next List, you will have all the titles you want to stream in one place.

Still, if the Continue Watching List on your Prime Video account gets cluttered up and becoming a drag when you scroll through your movies, you can remove and clear some titles to trim down the list. It is easy to manage and delete titles from your Watch Next List on Amazon Prime Video with only a few clicks. Check out the steps below to find out how to do it.
