- You can delete your Amazon Prime Video history by accessing your “Watch history” in your video settings.

- You may not want a TV show or movie used for recommendations if it’s something you weren’t a fan of or if it’s a show a friend or family member watched on your account.

Whether it’s a talked-about movie you ended up hating or a TV show your sister binge-watched on your account, you may want to remove some items from your Amazon watch list.
Removing content from your account can ensure that they aren’t used in the algorithm for your recommendations.
To remove a video, you’ll have to access your “Watch history” list in your Prime Video settings online. Unfortunately, there is no option to remove the entire list, and you’ll have to scroll through and individually remove a show or check the box stating “I prefer not to use this for recommendations.”
Here’s how to do it.
