Don't watch the FreeVee channel on Roku
1. Once you watch (or even stop watching) anything, it stays in your watch list forever, and there is no way to remove it. Amazon says there is a remove function on their own app but it is not availa...

I spent the afternoon in 'chat' with Amazon Prime trying to figure out why the mess that is Freevee suddenly appeared on my Amazon Prime application. I discovered not only could I not remove it but I also could not turn it off so I am doomed from now through eternity to have to wade through Freevee results before I can find the movie of show I was looking for. I am so reminded of cell phone junk apps that came with the phone and could not be removed.
I consider this app Malware. Stay away
Here's a quicker way than fast-forwarding to the end:
- On the Continue watching list, select the movie you want to remove.
- Click on the "Watch from beginning" button.
- As soon as the opening ad starts, click the back button on your Roku remote. You should be back on the movie's description page, but now with the "Watch from beginning" button gone. Your movie should be removed from the Continue watching list now.
You can also click the back button right before the opening ad starts, when the spinning icon shows up, but make sure when the title of the movie is displayed on the top left corner of your tv screen. This is slightly faster than waiting for the ad to start up.
For serials it's a bit of a pain since you would have to do the same as above for every episode you've watched. Once all the episodes have been marked unwatched, the entire serial should be removed from the Continue watching list.
Thank You!!! I'm working on clearing out that bleeping Continue Watching list now and so far, I've been able to get rid of most of the ones I want gone. I got that freaking Judge Judy off my screen - finally! There were a couple of series that I did go into each episode and clear it so that takes a little more time but it is soooo worth it! Thank you for posting on here as the Moderators are worthless on 99% of the problems us consumers wind up with.
Thanks so much for your help. I watch mostly series, and I was able to get rid of most of the ones I wanted to remove. One thing I noticed was that once I followed your instructions on an episode, the Continue Watching box disappeared for that episode and the only choice was Watch now.
I have one remaining problem with the Lost series, which is 6 seasons with dozens of episodes for each. Even though I cleared each episode, it remains on the list, and when I click on it, it goes to Season 5 Episode 10, which has no longer has a Continue watching box, only Watch now. If I watch that to the end, it stops on a black box, and if I click that, just goes back to Season 5, Episode 10. So looks like I am Lost forever.
It would be so much better if they just added an option for Remove Series or perhaps Remove Season.
Anyway, thanks to much. Hopefully I will be able to get rid of anything else which accidentally gets added to the FreeVee list.
Hello freevee watcher, I would like to know if you have found the solution to the problem that it always to go back to freevee home screen after watching the last episode of the series, this happened to me.
Remove and reinstall the freevee app solve the problem and it stay back again after watching many series of episodes. This maybe true if the memory cache in the roku device is small.
Share me your findings... thanks.

You have to free up any episodes already watched (there will be a yellow bar under those. Here is the solution someone else gave me earlier, and this worked.
