@Pixie12222 Thanks for the note. You can remove things from 'Continue watching' inside The Roku Channel on your Roku device or TV. 

Launch The Roku Channel, navigate to the content tile in the 'Continue watching' row that you wish to remove, press the * key and choose 'Remove from the Continue Watching row. 

 

Thanks,

Tanner

Highlight the program in Continue watching press star* key and remove it.

You are talking about within the Roku Channel/app no?

If this doesnt work you need to do a System reset.

How old is your Roku?

Unfortunately this didn’t work for me at all. The `*` button has no function at all in the “Continue watching for [name]” list for me 😞.

I even tried completely removing and then reinstalling the Netflix channel, logged back in and everything. Still didn’t work. I’ve got a Roku Ultra (model 4670X).

Every channel/app will probably have a different method.  For Netflix you probably have to go to their website if it's possible at all.

Does not let me use the star key. Does not give any options when I press it.

@Jamesp0925 

Are you inside the Roku Channel/app or another Channel/app?  If inside the Roku Channel, you have to navigate to the Continue Watching section and then highlight the selection (show or movie tile) first before pressing * button.  If you look at top of screen to the right, you should see Roku | Options * become available (change color/brighten)  whenever the * button can be used.

If you are not inside the Roku Channel, there may be (and likely is) a different way.  Different Channels, different methods.  Post back with Channel and someone should be able to help.
