Click the Sign In button on the right and log in with your credentials.

In the Home screen for your profile, move your mouse over the small drop-down arrow displayed on the top right and click Account.
Here, in the Account Settings screen, scroll down to find the section titled Profile & parental controls and click on your profile name.
Then, a drop-down list will appear on your screen. In that, click the View against Viewing activity.

After clicking the Hide option, you will see the success message as shown below.
If the title is an episode of a TV series, then you will see the option “Hide series?“. On clicking that option, all the episodes of that TV series will be deleted from the Netflix viewing history.
Once you delete a particular title from the history, it will not be displayed in your Netflix profile. Of course, if you watch the title again, it will then get added to the list.
