Clear your Continue Watching list from your account settings or by removing titles one at a time
Disney Plus does not have a single "clear all" button for your Continue Watching section. You can remove individual titles by selecting them and choosing a delete option, or you can clear your entire viewing history through your account settings — though this erases more than just Continue Watching and affects what Disney Plus recommends to you going forward.
The fastest method depends on whether you want to remove a few titles or start completely fresh. If you are clearing your list on a TV app, phone app, or web browser, the steps differ slightly, but the principle is the same: find the title, open its menu, and select the option to remove it from your history.
Key Takeaways
- You can remove individual titles from Continue Watching by clicking or tapping the three-dot menu on each title and selecting "Remove from Continue Watching."
- Clearing your entire viewing history through account settings removes Continue Watching, search history, and recommendation data all at once.
- On TV apps, use the remote to highlight a title, press the menu button, and select remove; on phones and web, tap or click the three-dot icon next to the title.
- Removing titles from Continue Watching does not delete them from your library or watchlist — it only stops them from appearing in that section.
Remove individual titles from Continue Watching on any device
The simplest way to clean up a few titles is to remove them one by one. On a web browser or phone app, go to your profile, find the Continue Watching section on your home page, locate the title you want to remove, and look for a three-dot menu icon (sometimes called a "more" menu) on the title card. Tap or click it and select "Remove from Continue Watching."
On a TV app, use your remote to highlight the title card, press the menu or options button (usually marked with three dots or lines), and navigate to "Remove from Continue Watching" using your arrow keys. Confirm the action when prompted. The title will disappear from the Continue Watching row but will remain in your library if you added it to a watchlist or if it is part of a subscription you still have access to.
Clear all viewing history through your account settings
If you want to remove everything from Continue Watching at once, you can clear your entire viewing history. This action also removes your search history and resets Disney Plus recommendations, so use this method only if you are comfortable starting fresh with personalization.
On a web browser, log into your Disney Plus account, click your profile icon in the top right, select "Account," scroll down to "Viewing activity," and click "Clear all." A confirmation message will appear; click again to confirm. On a phone or tablet app, open your profile, tap "Account," find "Viewing activity" or "Clear viewing history," and confirm. On a TV app, navigate to your account settings using your remote, find the viewing history or privacy section, and select the option to clear all activity.
What happens when you remove titles from Continue Watching
Removing a title from Continue Watching stops it from appearing in that section on your home page, but the action does not delete the show or movie from Disney Plus or remove it from your watchlist. If you were halfway through an episode, that progress is also cleared — if you start watching the title again, it will begin from the beginning rather than where you left off.
Your recommendations and search suggestions are not affected by removing individual titles. Only clearing your entire viewing history through account settings changes what Disney Plus suggests to you based on your past viewing.
Differences between devices and apps
The Continue Watching section works the same way across Disney Plus apps, but the steps to remove titles vary slightly depending on whether you are using a web browser, phone, tablet, or TV device. Web browsers and phone apps both use a three-dot menu, but the location and appearance may differ. TV apps require you to use your remote to navigate, which takes a few more button presses but follows the same menu structure.
If you use Disney Plus on multiple devices, clearing your viewing history from one device affects your account across all devices — the Continue Watching section will be empty on your phone, TV, and web browser simultaneously. Removing individual titles also syncs across devices, though it may take a few minutes for the change to appear everywhere.
Why your Continue Watching list keeps reappearing
If you remove a title and it reappears in Continue Watching, you likely started watching it again on another device. Disney Plus automatically adds any title you begin watching to the Continue Watching section, even if you removed it before. Pausing a video and closing the app counts as starting to watch it, so be careful not to accidentally resume playback on a different device.
If a title is reappearing without you watching it, check whether someone else is using your account. Disney Plus accounts can be shared among household members, and any of them can add titles to Continue Watching. If you want to prevent this, you can set up a PIN code in your account settings to require a password before anyone can access your profile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does removing a title from Continue Watching delete it from my library?
No. Removing a title from Continue Watching only hides it from that section on your home page. The show or movie remains available in your library and in search results, and you can watch it again anytime.
Will clearing my viewing history affect my recommendations?
Yes. Clearing your entire viewing history through account settings removes the data Disney Plus uses to suggest shows and movies to you. Your recommendations will reset and rebuild based on what you watch going forward. Removing individual titles from Continue Watching does not change your recommendations.
Can I undo clearing my Continue Watching list?
No. Once you clear your viewing history, it cannot be recovered. If you only want to remove a few titles, remove them individually instead of clearing everything at once.
Why does Continue Watching show titles I only clicked on but did not watch?
Disney Plus adds a title to Continue Watching as soon as you start playback, even if you only watch a few seconds. If you clicked play and then closed the app, it still counts as starting to watch. Remove it manually if you do not want to see it in that section.
Does clearing Continue Watching on one device clear it on all my devices?
Yes. Your Disney Plus account is linked across all devices, so clearing your viewing history or removing titles affects your account everywhere. Changes may take a few minutes to sync to all your devices.
