Peacock, like many streaming services, keeps track of your viewing history, conveniently displaying it under the "Continue Watching" section. While this feature is helpful for resuming shows, it can also become cluttered over time, displaying content you no longer intend to watch. Fortunately, Peacock offers a straightforward method to remove unwanted entries from your "Continue Watching" list. This guide will walk you through the process.

Deleting Individual Items

The most common method involves deleting individual shows or movies from your "Continue Watching" row. This is done directly within the Peacock interface:

1. Open the Peacock App or Website: Access Peacock through your preferred device (smart TV, mobile app, web browser).
2. Navigate to "Continue Watching": Locate this section on your home screen. Its exact location may vary slightly depending on your device.
3. Locate the Unwanted Item: Find the show or movie you want to remove.
4. Select the Item: Click or tap on the title's thumbnail.
5. Remove from Continue Watching: Depending on the app version and device, you might find a small "X" or "Remove" option (often represented by a trash can icon) near the title. Select it. Peacock will confirm the removal.
6. Refresh the Page (If Necessary): Sometimes, the list doesn't immediately update. Refreshing the page might be needed to see the changes.

This method allows for precise control, removing only the content you wish to eliminate from your "Continue Watching" list, leaving the rest of your viewing history intact.

Clearing Your Entire Viewing History (Caution!)

While you can selectively remove items, Peacock doesn’t currently offer a single button to clear your entire "Continue Watching" history. Deleting your entire viewing history would require individually removing each entry using the steps mentioned above. Remember, this will only remove items from your "Continue Watching" list; your actual viewing history might still be recorded by Peacock for other purposes.

Troubleshooting

If you’re having trouble finding the removal option, consider these points:

• App Version: Ensure you have the latest version of the Peacock app installed. Outdated versions may lack the "Remove" functionality.
• Device Compatibility: The removal process might slightly differ depending on your device (mobile, smart TV, web browser). Consult Peacock's help resources for device-specific instructions.
• Peacock Support: If you continue to face issues, contact Peacock's customer support for assistance.

By following these steps, you can effectively manage your "Continue Watching" list and maintain a clean and organized viewing experience on Peacock. Remember, selectively deleting unwanted titles is the most efficient and precise approach.
