The Prime video app on Roku used to allow remove from continue watching by pressing the star key and selecting the option to remove. Star key now does nothing. Screen says 'hold select for more options'. This only gives the options of more details or add to/remove from watchlist. Anybody know how to remove from continue watching?

"Open the Watch to Watch menu from the Home menu."
I think you mean "What to Watch" and that's on the ROKU home page (if Shown).

Pardon me if I am incorrect - but I don’t think this is what original poster was referring to. I am having the same issue.
In the Prime app in Roku - NOT the Roku homescreen, we are no longer able to “Hide Title” to remove from Continue Watching. We now receive a message to hold select key for options. Our options are Add/Remove from List or info details on the program/movie. We are no longer able to remove titles from Continue Watching.
My Continue Watching is getting cluttered with titles I may have watched and decided to I did not want to continue and some movies that were watched completely.
I have restarted my Roku system and updated Amazon app on Roku.
is there a solution for this problem? If not are Roku or Amazon aware of this problem and working on it? Thanks.
You are correct. This removes it from ROKU's Continue Watching but when you go back to Prime, it's still there. Apparently the only way to get rid of it is to run it out, which is stupid and a big pain especially if there's multiple episodes. This kind of thing also happens on HULU in certain circumstances. How come the "lesser" apps like Roku Channel and Tubi don't have this issue? Doesn't make sense. At least Netflix gets it right.
Hi, @Claudia42 @kb1jop.
Greetings from the Roku Community.
If I understand it correctly, do you mean removing certain content through the Continue Watching feature inside the Prime Video app?
If this is the case, we would highly recommend that you coordinate this with the channel provider directly as they manage and maintain their app on the Roku streaming platform independently. It may be possible that this feature has been removed from their system.
You may reach them here: Prime Video Support
Furthermore, please be informed that the steps provided by @RokuRiamie-D above are for the Continue Watching feature under the What to Watch category on your Roku Home screen.
I hope you find this formation helpful.

Carly
