If you’re sharing a Paramount+ account or you just want a cleaner list of what you’ve watched, you’ve probably searched for ways to clear paramount plus watch history. The problem is that “clearing history” can mean different things—your continue-watching row, cached app data, or stored browser cookies. Follow the steps below to remove what you can, fix what won’t go away, and keep your recommendations more private.

What You Can and Can’t Remove on Paramount+
Understand watch history, continue watching, and recommendations
Paramount+ uses multiple signals to decide what shows up in your interface. Your watch history drives things like continue watching (the row of unfinished titles) and influences recommendations. When you remove a title from your watch history or delete it from the continue-watching list, Paramount+ updates that row based on your actions.
Recommendations, however, aren’t tied to only one dataset. Even after you clear items, Paramount+ can keep suggesting titles based on account-level behavior, what you watch on other devices, and profile settings. The result: your continue-watching row changes first, while recommendations may take longer.
Know what clearing history does not change
Clearing watch history does not cancel your subscription or remove your access to Paramount+ content. It also does not delete downloaded files in the sense of affecting your subscription status—though you may see fewer items in “continue watching” because you removed your viewing progress for those titles.
Clearing history also doesn’t “wipe” everything about your account activity. Paramount+ still tracks other viewing behaviors, and your account can still display recently watched content until changes sync across devices. For privacy-focused cleanup, you may need to clear cache and browser cookies in addition to deleting history.
How to Clear Paramount Plus Watch History
Remove titles from your watch history on web and mobile
Start by deleting the specific titles you no longer want shown.
- Open Paramount+ and go to Account (or Profile settings on mobile/TV).
- Select your profile.
- Find your Watch History or Continue Watching list.
- Choose the title(s) you want removed.
- Select Remove or Delete (wording can vary by device).
- Repeat for other titles you want cleared.
After removal, prioritize the continue-watching row first—this is the part that responds most immediately.
Refresh the continue-watching row after deleting items
After you remove items, Paramount+ may not redraw the interface instantly.
- Fully close the Paramount+ app (or reload the Paramount+ page on web).
- Reopen Paramount+ and return to the Home screen.
- If the row is still unchanged, sign out of your profile and sign back in.
- If you use multiple devices, clear history on one device, then open Paramount+ on the other only after you’ve refreshed the first.
This forces the app to pull the updated list from your account. Continue-watching tiles usually disappear once the refresh completes.
What to do if a title still appears
If a title you deleted still shows up, treat it as a sync or cache issue.
- Sign out of Paramount+.
- Close the app completely.
- Clear cache (for app problems—see the cache section below) or restart your device.
- Sign back in and open Paramount+ again.
- Wait a short period for account sync if multiple devices are involved.
If the issue persists, also check you edited the correct profile. Titles removed from one profile can remain on another if you switch between profiles under the same account.
Clear Browsing Data, Cache, and App Data
Clear cache in the Paramount+ app
Clearing cache removes stored files that can cause stale “continue watching” tiles or outdated UI.
- On a Fire TV/Android TV, open Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications.
- Select Paramount+.
- Choose Clear cache.
- Reopen Paramount+ and sign back in if prompted.
On TVs like Roku/Apple TV, there usually isn’t a direct cache button.
- Remove the Paramount+ channel/app from the device.
- Reinstall it from the channel/app store.
- Launch Paramount+ and sign in again.
Clear browser cache and cookies on desktop
If you mainly watch on desktop, your browser can keep old session data.
- Open your browser settings.
- Go to Privacy & Security (or Privacy).
- Choose Clear browsing data.
- Select Cookies and other site data and Cached images and files.
- Set the time range to All time.
- Clear the data and reload Paramount+.
Then sign into the correct profile and recheck the Home/Continue Watching area.
Restart the app or device after clearing data
After you clear cache/cookies, restart is what makes the change take effect.
- Force-close Paramount+:
- Mobile: swipe it away from the recent apps screen.
- Desktop: close the browser tab(s), then reopen the site.
- Restart your device (phone/TV/streaming box) for a clean session.
- Launch Paramount+ and return to Home to see updated rows.
This prevents the app from reusing cached sessions that may still show deleted items.
Fix Account and Profile Issues That Affect History
Switch profiles and verify you are editing the right one
Many “history won’t clear” problems are simply profile confusion.
- Open Paramount+ and look for the profile avatar at the top (or profile switch screen).
- Switch to the profile that should have the old titles.
- Go into that same profile’s watch history/continue watching settings.
- Delete the titles again.
If you watch across profiles, deleting history on one profile won’t remove titles from another. Clear the profile with the unwanted row.
Reset your PIN or recover access if needed
If a PIN blocks profile access or limits changes, history actions can fail silently.
- Go to your account settings in a browser.
- Look for PIN or Parental Controls.
- Use the PIN reset or recovery option to set a new PIN.
- Sign back into the correct profile and then remove titles from watch history.
When you regain access and edit the right profile, the continue-watching row updates properly.
Remove a profile and recreate it as a last resort
If history is stuck or recommendations are locked to a corrupted profile state, recreate the profile.
- Open Account settings.
- Find Profiles.
- Choose the problematic profile and select Remove profile (or delete).
- Create a new profile.
- Sign back into the new profile and check your Home and continue-watching rows.
This is a last step because it removes the profile’s saved personalization. Use it when cache/browser clears and sign-outs don’t resolve persistent behavior.
Tips for Better Recommendations and Privacy
Use separate profiles for kids, sports, and shared viewing
Separate profiles keep each person’s activity from contaminating another person’s recommendations.
- Create one profile for kids.
- Create separate profiles for sports/genre-specific viewing.
- Use a dedicated profile for shared household viewing.
Because Paramount+ recommendations are profile-aware, this prevents your family’s viewing from mixing with your “serious watching” habits.
Pause or limit autoplay to keep recommendations cleaner
Autoplay can start watching content you didn’t intend to finish, which feeds your recommendations.
- In the Paramount+ app, open playback controls.
- Turn off or limit autoplay for trailers/next episodes.
- When you want control, manually select the title you choose next.
This reduces accidental viewing signals that show up in continue-watching and Home suggestions.
Manage viewing habits across TVs, phones, and streaming devices
Your recommendations update based on activity across devices, so consistency helps.
- If you share devices, stick to the correct profile every time.
- If you want privacy, log out on unused devices.
- After changing profiles or clearing history on one device, reload Paramount+ on another to sync the UI.
This prevents “ghost” titles from appearing because you left a session open elsewhere.
Common Paramount+ Viewing Questions
Check whether live sports are available in your region
Live sports availability on Paramount+ depends on licensing in your country/region.
- Confirm you’re signed into Paramount+ on the same account and profile you use for sports.
- In the app, go to Live TV or Sports and check for the sport category.
- If the sport isn’t listed, it’s usually regional rather than an account or history issue.
If you removed history and your live sports section changed, it’s still not because watch history affects licensing—it’s a content availability difference.
Find out if major events like the Super Bowl or World Cup stream on Paramount+
Major events vary by year and may be available through Paramount+ or via add-on/bundled offers.
- Search for the event name inside Paramount+ (event pages are separate from regular titles).
- Check the event’s category under Sports or Live.
- Review the event page details for streaming availability.
If you don’t see the event listing at all, the event likely isn’t scheduled for your region or current plan.
Confirm availability of shows, cast pages, and live channels
Sometimes “missing content” looks like a history issue.
- Open the show title page directly (not via recommendations).
- Check if episodes appear and if the show is listed as playable for your plan.
- For live channels, open Live TV and look for channel listings.
If a title won’t load at all, treat it as a playback/session or availability issue rather than a watch history cleanup problem.

Yes. Clearing cache or browser data removes stored app files and cookies without deleting your subscription or profile, though you may need to sign in again.
