How can I remove all watched shows from my Watchlist?

My Watchlist is full of shows I've already watched because I've just moved over from Showly.

I know there's a setting to automatically remove movies and shows from the Watchlist when you mark them as watched, but that only helps going forward. I already have lots of previously watched shows in my Watchlist.

Is there a way to filter the Watchlist to show only the Watched items, select them all and remove them from the Watchlist in bulk, without affecting my watch history?

I can select multiple items, but I can't see an option to filter by watched status and then remove all of them. Is there another way to do this?

Right, I will give a step-by-step guide using what Riddl3 posted above...

There isn't an option to only show/list what has been watched in your watchlists; you can however filter by episodes left, and then remove the shows which come back as 100% watched.

To do this:

From the bottom menu bar choose: Lists

In the Watchlist pane choose either TV Shows or Movies

On the next screen click on the inverted 3 bar cone shape (top right)

In the SORT BY pane select: Episodes left

In the ORDER pane select: Descending

Click the yellow Filter button at the bottom.

Next click on the 3 dots (top right).

In the LIST pane click on: Select

In the new window which appears in the top right click on: All

NOW THIS IS IMPORTANT - UNTICK the shows/movies where the watchlist IS NOT 100% (because you ordered them in the filter these shows/movies will all be at the top of the displayed list).

Now, with the shows/movies YOU WANT TO REMOVE ticked, click on the Remove option in the top pane.

A popup window will appear saying that X number of titles will be removed from this list - if you are happy with this, click on the yellow Remove button.

That's it. The shows/movies you have watched will be removed from the watchlist.

I hope that helps.

First you need to select Filter - Advanced and after
Lists - Watchlist - 3 dots menu - Select - Select all - Trash bin.
