Like most OTT platforms, Amazon Prime Video lets users view their previously-watched titles and add new ones to a watchlist. If you don’t want a title hanging around in the ‘Continue watching’ section, you can easily hide it from the page. This is helpful if you share your account with multiple users. You can also choose to lock your profile to keep the prying eyes away. Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to remove your watch history and watchlist on Amazon Prime Video.
