Operation: Ghost In The Machine (Except It's Just Your Hulu Watch History)

Let's face it, we've all been there. You fire up Hulu, ready to settle in for a night of refined documentary viewing (because that's what all the cool kids are doing, right?). But then, horror strikes! Your perfectly curated queue is haunted by the ghost of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" season 12. Judgement? We don't know her.

But fear not, fellow streamers! There's a way to banish these spectral shows from your watch history and reclaim your pop culture cred. Here's how to become a master of Hulu manipulation, with the finesse of a black ops librarian.

Vanishing Act: Removing Individual Shows

• Method 1: The Desktop Decimation

  1. Boot up your trusty computer and log in to Hulu.
  2. Hover your mouse over your name in the top right corner, like a digital gunslinger.
  3. Draw your weapon of choice (the cursor) and click on "History." Dun dun DUNNN!
  4. Scan the list for the offending program. Was it a lapse in judgement fueled by takeout and ennui? We understand.
  5. Click the three little dots next to the show's title, those are your virtual breadcrumbs leading to deletion.
  6. With a decisive click, banish the show to the deepest corners of the internet with "Remove from Watch History".

• Method 2: The Mobile Mission Sometimes, the couch is your command center. No worries, here's how to edit your history on the go:

  1. Open the Hulu app and tap on your profile picture.
  2. Navigate to "Watch History." It's like a digital detective board, but way less exciting (unless you consider outsmarting algorithms exciting, which some people definitely do).
  3. Find the rogue program and tap the three dots next to its name.
  4. Just like on desktop, tap "Remove from Watch History" and poof! The evidence disappears.

The Nuclear Option: Complete Watch History Detonation

Let's be honest, sometimes your watch history resembles a crime scene. In those cases, it's time to go scorched earth.

1. Log in to Hulu on your desktop.
2. Hover over your name again (you're getting good at this, aren't you?) and click "Account."
3. Head over to "Privacy and Settings." This might sound ominous, but it's just where you tell Hulu "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"
4. Under "California Privacy Rights" (yes, even if you're not in California, they've got your back) click on "Manage Activity".
5. Find "Watch History" and select "Clear Selected". Consider this the remote detonator.
6. Confirm with a steely glint in your eye (or a casual click).

Congratulations! You've successfully edited (or obliterated) your Hulu watch history. Now you can finally settle in for that documentary marathon without any incriminating evidence. Remember, with great streaming power comes great responsibility...to curate your watch history like a digital Marie Kondo.
