Hulu and You: A Breakup with "Keep Watching"? It's Easier Than You Think (Probably)
Let's face it, we've all been there. You fire up Hulu, brimming with excitement for a night of quality streaming. But then, it hits you: that dreaded "Keep Watching" section. Shows you started with good intentions (or maybe a questionable case of the late-night munchies) now haunt you like cinematic ghosts. Fear not, fellow streamers! There's a light at the end of the "Keep Watching" tunnel, and this guide will be your popcorn-fueled DeLorean.
Evicting Shows From "Keep Watching": A Guide for the Streaming-Savvy
There are two main approaches to this breakup, depending on the level of commitment you have to forgetting that documentary about competitive pigeon racing (don't judge, we've all been there).
The Surgical Strike: Removing Specific Shows
-
Desktop and Web: For a clean, precise removal, log in to Hulu on your computer. Navigate to the "Keep Watching" section (because sometimes facing your problems head-on is the best course of action). Hover your mouse over the show you want to banish, and a magical trio of dots appears. Click those dots, and a "Remove" option will materialize like a streaming genie. With a triumphant click, POOF! The show is gone, leaving your "Keep Watching" list a little less cluttered (and a little less judgmental).
-
Mobile App: Similar principles apply, mobile warriors! Open the Hulu app and find the "Keep Watching" section. Tap on the three-dot menu next to the show you want to remove. A "Remove from Watch History" option should appear. Tap it, and consider it dealt with.
The scorched earth approach: Nuclear Winter for Your Watch History
- Desktop and Web: Feeling a little more drastic? We understand. Head to your Hulu account settings (because sometimes you gotta burn it all down to rebuild). Navigate to the "Privacy" section and look for "Clear Watch History." Click that button with the confidence of a thousand marathoned seasons, and BAM! Your entire watch history is a blank slate.
Mobile App: For mobile users with a taste for the dramatic, open the Hulu app settings and look for "Privacy." Tap on "Clear Watch History," and consider yourself Thanos-level ruthless when it comes to your streaming past.
Remember: Whichever method you choose, resetting your watch history will erase your progress on any shows you were watching. So if you're halfway through that nail-biting season finale, maybe consider the surgical strike instead.
Now, go forth and stream with confidence! Your "Keep Watching" list is no longer your boss, and those questionable viewing choices can stay safely buried in the past (or at least a few clicks away).
