Peacock TV remembers how far you’ve come with a TV show or movie and lets you pick up where you left off. This feature is called “Continue Watching” and it saves you from having to scroll through content to find the last scene you watched.

While the option is usually convenient, in some cases you may want to remove certain content from the list. For example, if you stopped watching a TV show or don’t like a particular movie. Unfortunately, there’s only one way to remove a show or movie from your Recently Watched list on Peacock, regardless of your device.

Yes, we know that many websites indicate that you can click the vertical ellipsis when highlighting a Continue Watching entry, but that option no longer exists.

The reason is that Peacock makes it difficult to remove Continue Watching entries because they don’t offer an on/off option, plus they challenge you to beat your chosen “Up Next” movie or show.

This is the only and correct way to remove items from your Continue Watching list at the time of writing this article.

Generally, the Continue Watching option on Peacock allows you to pause TV shows and movies and pick up where you left off whenever you want. However, seeing it in the Continue Watching queue can be annoying if you decide not to watch certain content again. Of course, if Peacock releases the “Up Next” movie or TV show and you don’t like what it picked, you’ll be stuck on Continue Playing unless you play the “fast forward” game.

At one point, Peacock offered a delete option, but has since removed it. So, don’t waste your time on other websites looking for a different solution because it won’t work. However, if you notice a change, please feel free to let us know and we will update the content.
