Removing a 7plus Continue Watching item when the TV has no minus control

Confirm that you are editing Continue Watching

A programme recommendation, a search result and a Continue Watching item are different pieces of the interface. The publisher’s instruction concerns the Continue Watching list. Before searching remote-control menus, establish which rail contains the unwanted programme. Removing a history-based item does not logically remove the series from the service’s catalogue or prevent it appearing in another recommendation.

Use an interface that has the documented control

The help page places a minus symbol below each show on the website and mobile apps. Use one of those routes with the same 7plus account as the television. The publisher says the equivalent removal option is not currently present in TV or connected-TV apps. Reinstalling a television application is therefore not the documented way to make a missing minus button appear.

Check the account before judging whether the change synced

7plus says changes are reflected on other devices signed into that account. If the television still shows the programme, compare the account identity rather than immediately deleting further items. A change made in a different person’s account does not provide a useful test of the television’s list. Keep that account check private and avoid photographing a full account page for a public forum.

Keep the expected outcome narrow

The intended result is removal of the show from Continue Watching. It is not cancellation of access, deletion of the programme itself or a promise that recommendation systems will never show related material. If the same account’s list remains inconsistent, record the website or app used, the programme removed and the television model for official support. This procedure is source-based and has not been exercised on an authenticated 7plus account here.
