How To Remove Videos from Continue Watching and Watchlist on Prime Video

The “Continue watching” section in Prime Video helps you resume the movie or TV show you left midway from the same point. On the other hand, maintaining a Watchlist allows you and the members you have added to Prime household to watch movies and TV shows later on. While both these sections are vitally helpful, you may need to keep the Continue Watching section in Prime Video clear by removing unwanted movies and TV shows.
