Remove items from Continue Watching in three steps

To remove a show or movie from your Peacock Continue Watching list, open the app or website, find the title on your home screen, hover over or long-press it, and select the remove or delete option. The exact wording and button location depend on whether you are using the mobile app, web browser, or streaming device, but the process takes less than a minute on any platform.

Your Continue Watching list shows titles you have started but not finished. Removing something from it does not delete the show or movie from Peacock — it straightforward clears it from your personal list so it stops appearing at the top of your home screen. You can always search for and restart the title later if you change your mind.

Key Takeaways

  • Removing a title from Continue Watching takes three steps: find it, hover or long-press, and select the remove option.
  • The remove button location differs slightly between the Peacock website, mobile app, and smart TV apps, but the action is the same on all platforms.
  • Removing a title from Continue Watching does not delete it from Peacock or your account — it only clears it from your personal list.
  • You can remove multiple titles at once on most devices by repeating the process for each one.

How to remove from Continue Watching on the Peacock website

On a computer or tablet browser, go to Peacock.com and sign in. Your home screen displays Continue Watching titles in a row near the top. Hover your mouse over the show or movie you want to remove until a menu appears with options overlaid on the image.

Look for a three-dot menu icon (⋯) or an X icon in the corner of the tile. Click it and select "Remove from Continue Watching" or similar wording. The title disappears from that row when ready. If you do not see a menu appear when you hover, try right-clicking on the tile instead — some browsers show a context menu with the remove option.

How to remove from Continue Watching on the Peacock mobile app

Open the Peacock app on your phone or tablet and navigate to your home screen. Find the Continue Watching section and locate the title you want to remove. Long-press (press and hold for two to three seconds) on the tile until a menu pops up with options.

Tap "Remove from Continue Watching" or the equivalent option in your menu. On some Android devices, you may see a three-dot menu icon appear instead — tap that first, then select remove. The title clears from your list right away. If you are unsure whether you long-pressed long enough, try holding for a full three seconds before releasing.

How to remove from Continue Watching on smart TV and streaming devices

On a Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, or other streaming device, navigate to your Peacock home screen using your remote. Highlight the title in your Continue Watching row and press the options button on your remote — this is usually labeled as a menu button, three dots, or a star icon, depending on your device.

A menu should appear with choices including "Remove from Continue Watching." Select it using your remote's directional buttons and press select or enter. The title leaves your Continue Watching list. If the menu does not appear, try pressing the back or menu button on your remote while the title is highlighted, as some devices use different button layouts.

What happens when you remove something from Continue Watching

Removing a title clears it from your personal Continue Watching list only. The show or movie remains in your Peacock library and in the Peacock catalog — you have not deleted it or lost access to it. You can search for the title by name at any time and start watching it again from the beginning or from where you left off, depending on Peacock's playback settings.

Your watch history may still contain the title even after you remove it from Continue Watching. If you want to fully erase a title from your account history, you may need to access your account settings and clear your watch history separately, though this option varies by device and Peacock subscription tier.

Why you might want to remove titles from Continue Watching

Your Continue Watching list can become cluttered if you start many shows without finishing them. Removing titles you have abandoned or do not plan to finish keeps your home screen focused on what you actually want to watch. This is especially useful if you share your Peacock account with family members and want to keep your list organized.

Some people remove titles they finished watching but Peacock still shows as in-progress due to a playback glitch. Others remove titles they started by accident or watched only a few seconds of. Clearing these out makes your recommendations and home screen more relevant to your actual viewing habits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does removing something from Continue Watching delete it from Peacock?

No. Removing a title from Continue Watching only clears it from your personal list. The show or movie stays in the Peacock catalog and in your account. You can search for it and watch it anytime.

Can I remove multiple titles at once?

No, Peacock does not have a bulk remove feature. You must remove each title individually by hovering or long-pressing and selecting the remove option. On most devices this takes about 10 to 15 seconds per title.

Will removing a title affect my recommendations?

Removing a title from Continue Watching may slightly change your recommendations over time, since Peacock uses your watch history to suggest new content. However, the title remains in your watch history unless you separately clear your entire history in account settings.

What if the remove option does not appear?

Try waiting a moment for the menu to load, or try a longer press or hover. On some devices, you may need to press a specific button on your remote (like menu or options) instead of hovering. If it still does not work, try signing out and back in to refresh your app.

Can I undo removing a title from Continue Watching?

There is no undo button. However, since the title is not deleted from Peacock, you can straightforward search for it and start watching again. Peacock will add it back to Continue Watching automatically when you resume playback.
