Remove Items From Continue Watching in Three Steps

You can remove a show or movie from your Peacock Continue Watching list directly from that section. Open Peacock, find the Continue Watching row on your home screen, hover over or tap the title you want to remove, and look for an X or menu icon (three dots). Select the remove or delete option, and the title disappears from that row when ready. It stays in your account and library — removing it from Continue Watching just clears it from that specific list.

The steps differ slightly between the Peacock app on your phone, the web browser version, and streaming devices like Roku or Apple TV, but the principle is the same: find the title, open its menu, and choose remove. The change takes effect right away across all your devices once you sign out and back in, or sometimes within a few minutes.

Key Takeaways

  • Removing a title from Continue Watching does not delete it from Peacock or your watchlist — it only clears it from that specific row on your home screen.
  • On phones and tablets, tap and hold the title or tap the menu icon to see the remove option.
  • On web browsers and some streaming devices, hover over the title to reveal the X or menu button.
  • If you cannot find the remove option, try scrolling within the Continue Watching row or checking the title's detail page for a menu.

How to Remove on the Peacock Mobile App

On iPhone or Android, open the Peacock app and scroll to the Continue Watching section on your home screen. Tap and hold the show or movie cover image until a menu appears, or look for a three-dot menu icon in the corner of the tile. Tap Remove from Continue Watching or a similar option. The title vanishes from that row within seconds.

If you do not see a menu icon or the tap-and-hold does not work, try swiping left on the tile — some versions of the app respond to a swipe gesture instead. If that does not work either, open the show or movie's detail page by tapping it, then look for a menu option (usually three dots) at the top or bottom of the page. That menu often includes a remove option.

How to Remove on Peacock's Web Browser

Log into Peacock on your computer or tablet browser and find the Continue Watching section on the home page. Move your mouse over the show or movie tile. An X button or three-dot menu icon should appear in the corner. Click it and select the remove option. The title clears from Continue Watching when ready.

If the menu does not appear on hover, try right-clicking the tile to see if a context menu opens. Some browsers or Peacock versions also let you click directly on the three-dot icon if it is always visible on the tile. If you still cannot find it, click the title to open its detail page, then look for a menu button near the play button or in the top-right corner.

How to Remove on Streaming Devices (Roku, Apple TV, Fire Stick)

On Roku, Apple TV, Fire Stick, or other streaming devices, navigate to the Continue Watching row using your remote. Highlight the show or movie you want to remove. Press the menu button on your remote (often labeled Options, Menu, or shown as three dots) and select Remove from Continue Watching or Remove. The title disappears from the row.

The exact button name and menu layout vary by device and Peacock app version. If the menu button does not work, try pressing the back or exit button to see if that reveals options. On some devices, you may need to highlight the tile and wait a moment for a menu to appear automatically. If you are still stuck, check your device's remote manual to find the menu or options button.

What Happens When You Remove a Title

Removing a show or movie from Continue Watching does not delete it from Peacock, cancel your subscription, or remove it from your library. It only clears that specific title from the Continue Watching row on your home screen. You can still search for the show or movie by name, find it in its category (Drama, Comedy, etc.), or access it through your watchlist if you saved it there.

If you start watching that show or movie again later, it will reappear in your Continue Watching section automatically. This is useful if you want to clean up your home screen without losing access to content you might return to.

If the Remove Option Does Not Appear

Sometimes the remove button or menu does not show up right away, especially on older devices or if the app needs an update. Try closing the Peacock app completely and reopening it. If you are on a streaming device, restart the device itself. Check the app store or device settings to see if a Peacock app update is available — newer versions often fix menu display issues.

If the option still does not appear after an update and restart, try removing the title from a different device (phone, web browser, or another streaming device). Changes made on one device usually sync to others within a few minutes. As a last resort, you can straightforward ignore the title in Continue Watching and let it scroll out of view as you watch other content — the row will eventually populate with new shows and movies.

Clearing Your Entire Continue Watching List

Peacock does not offer a button to clear your entire Continue Watching list at once. You have to remove titles one at a time using the steps above. If you have many titles to clear, start with the ones you are least likely to watch again and work through the list over a few days.

Alternatively, if you want a fresh start, you can sign out of your Peacock account, wait a few hours, and sign back in. This sometimes resets the Continue Watching row, though Peacock may repopulate it with your most recently watched content. The most reliable way is still to remove each title individually.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does removing a show from Continue Watching delete it from my watchlist?

No. Continue Watching and your watchlist are separate. Removing a title from Continue Watching only clears it from that home screen row. If you saved the show to your watchlist, it stays there. You can still find it by searching or browsing categories.

Will the show come back to Continue Watching if I watch it again?

Yes. As soon as you start watching that show or movie again, it reappears in your Continue Watching section automatically. Peacock tracks what you are actively watching and displays it there.

Can I remove a title from Continue Watching on one device but keep it on another?

No. Your Peacock account is linked across all devices. When you remove a title from Continue Watching, it disappears from that section on every device once the change syncs, usually within a few minutes.

What if I accidentally removed a show I wanted to keep watching?

You can straightforward start watching the show again, and it will reappear in Continue Watching. There is no undo button, but the show is still in your account and searchable by name.

Why is a show still in Continue Watching even though I finished it?

Peacock keeps finished shows in Continue Watching until you manually remove them. If you completed a series, you can remove it using the steps above. Some users prefer to leave finished shows there as a record of what they watched.
