Removing history

I would like to edit or remove my history. Called Netflix but said that they don't do this. I would like to be able to watch what ever I want without others coming on my computer and seeing what I have been doing.

I don't care if they keep an internal record, just as long as I don't have a record when I open my account.

Log out after visiting netflix.com (click the little down-arrow next to your name on the top of any netflix page and pick Sign out). That way noone can see what you've been doing there. Change your password if others have your current one.

Oh, I forgot this: Movie privacy lets you mark watched or queued movies as "private" so your Netflix friends can't see them. If you want to do that to all of them it might take you a while (depending on your history):

Hope that helps.; ▶ Reply to This

Why can't people like you figure out that the reason to clear history is to allow someone else (husband, wife, child, etc) to watch something without the idiot thing show that it's been watched already (so it doesn't keep your place correctly)?
People keep responding as if people were trying to hide what they have been watching. I don't remember anything on Netflix that is so objectionable that this would be needed.; ▶ Reply to This

But seriously, I think Splain means she wants to be able to clear instant watch history which a second profile wouldn't have access to anyway, right? I think, and this is only a guess, that "so it doesn't keep your place correctly" means so that the IW streaming starts at the beginning instead of where the last person watching stopped it?

If you're talking about DVD rental history, then even if the "idiot thing show that it's been watched already", Netflix will still let you rent it again. So what's the problem?; ▶ Reply to This
