The only way is to fast forward through to the end of the very last episode of the last series should remove it or go into the relevant app and if it is flagged as continue watching remove it from there or if iplayer go onto the iplayer website and remove it there. 

Unlike other providers especially the brilliant Apple TV contiue watching system Sky cannot provide a remove function or don't have the will to do so.

Hi @Paddyscott The lack of a delete function for the continue watching rail has always been my biggest complaint with the Sky streaming platform.  So much so that about 3 years ago I made a list of methods that work with the different app.  It was made for my own purposes but I will cut & paste it here to see if it helps.  The most common method it as already described by @Gincap.

 

The most common method (as already described by @Gincap) which generally works with Sky, Discovery, ITVX  and Disney is to select the programme from the CW rail and fast forward it to the end.  If it is a series then also run the last episode of the series to the end otherwise the next episode will appear in the CW rail.

 

Depending on the App you watched from there are so many different ways to remove programmes from CW. Some you have to do on your TV and others on your Laptop etc.  I made myself a list to help me remember in the future. Hopefully this will help you as well:

 

Do on Glass TV:

Apple TV - select from Up Next list with a LONG press / remove

Netflix - Select from CW / remove from CW on next page

Sky, Discovery, ITVX & Disney - run programme to credits and allow to run to the end.  If a series do the same with the final episode of the series.  (It may take a while to disappear)

My5 - Go to settings and select Clear Watch History

 

Do on laptop:

BBC iPlayer  - CW / Manage full list (on right of screen) / remove

Ch4 / CW - go to My4 > / edit / select then remove

Paramount - Hover over programme and untick  

Prime - Go to CW rail and hover over programme for another menu select 3 dots & then hide (you can’t actually  delete)

 

Sometimes it can take a while for the programme to disappear and on other occasions they stubbornly remain. It's a bit of a lottery.

 

Good luck, I hope this helps.

Excellent list. Things like this should be pinned in a FAQ area. Everyday I see the same answers in multi threads all this could be stopped with a FAQ area.

@Gincap Good Idea unfortunately FAQ areas dont stop the same questions being asked over and over again there used to be FAQ's on each of the different forums but people just weren't reading them and still asking the same questions 🤣

True, but at least you can point a link to the relevant topic for the answer.  It works very well on our car owner's forum so no reason why it can't transition.
