I recently signed up with Netflix to watch streaming movies. I’ve inadvertently clicked on a couple things, or started watching something and decided I didn’t like it enough to finish, and those items are left sitting in the “Continue Watching” box, taking up space.

How do I cancel/get them out of that box? I can’t seem to find a way.

Ditto. Same question here.

A workaround, go back into the movie, drag it to the end credits and when they end mark your opinion on it.

Hmm, I guess I’ll have to do it that way. Thanks 🙂
