Choose the intended scope before clearing
The Continue Watching row holds recently watched programmes that may be unfinished. ABC offers two removal methods with different consequences. For one programme, open it and move its timeline marker to the end. The alternative clears Viewing History and removes the whole Continue Watching row. Choose between those operations before using a broad clear merely to tidy one tile.
Use the website for the broader action
Sign in on the iview website, open the top-right profile icon and choose Switch profile. Use the pencil beneath the intended profile picture, select Viewing History and then REMOVE ALL when that full clear is wanted. The profile selection matters in a shared household: first establish whose viewing record you intend to change rather than treating the television itself as the owner of every history entry.
Use mobile when the television lacks the control
On the mobile app, ABC places Viewing History under the three-line menu and Your iview. Its television guidance says Apple TV, Android TV and smart-TV apps show the continuing-viewing row, but history can only be cleared through the website or mobile app. A television displaying the list therefore need not provide the broad deletion action in that same interface.
Expect the synchronised row to change
ABC says clearing activity removes Continue Watching across devices logged into the account. New viewing subsequently populates the row again. Check the effect with that scope in mind; the same cleared row on another signed-in screen is an expected consequence. If the goal was only to remove one unwanted programme, the timeline-to-end method avoids intentionally requesting the documented full-history clear.
