- Clear the app cache. On your device, go to Settings, then Apps or Applications, find Crunchyroll, tap Storage or Storage & cache, and select "Clear cache." Do not clear app data unless you are prepared to reset all app settings and log in again.

Can I remove multiple shows from Continue Watching at once?

To clear your entire Continue Watching history, you need to log into your account on a web browser and clear your full viewing history from your account settings.
Will removing a show from Continue Watching affect my recommendations?
It may have a minor effect. Crunchyroll's recommendation algorithm uses your watch history, and removing a show from Continue Watching does not delete that history. However, if you also clear your viewing history entirely, your recommendations will reset.
Why does a show I finished still appear in Continue Watching?
If you finished a series but it still appears, you may need to mark the final episode as "Watched" manually. Open the show, scroll to the last episode, tap it, and select the "Watched" option. This should remove it from Continue Watching on your next app refresh.
