Bulk Delete Watched Episodes or Seasons

Whether you’ve imported outdated history from another platform, logged incorrect episodes by mistake, or simply want to start fresh, SIMKL’s “Delete Watched Episodes” option gives you full control to remove any or all progress made on a TV show or anime.

Where You’ll See This Option

This feature appears in the Bulk Episode Editor, but only when the title is already in your watchlist and has at least one episode marked as watched.

You’ll find it under:

Manage Watch History ➝ What would you like to do? ➝ Delete Watched Episodes

Available When:

• The show or anime is already in your Watchlist

• You have at least one episode marked as watched

• You're accessing a TV Show or Anime, not a Movie

Not Available If:

• You haven’t marked any episodes as watched yet

• The title is not in your Watchlist

• You’re on a Movie title (this feature is episode-based only)

What You Can Delete

This feature isn’t just a one-click nuke. SIMKL gives you granular control over what to remove:

Option 1: Delete by Entire Seasons (Under TV Shows)

• Quickly reset full seasons you previously marked as watched

• Ideal if you completed a whole season by mistake or want a fresh rewatch

• Simply check the boxes for the seasons you want to clear

Option 2: Delete by Specific Episodes (Under Anime)

• Get precise: only remove individual episodes while keeping others intact

• Deselect any episodes you want to keep (like specials or OVAs)

• Useful for undoing accidental progress on a few select entries

You can also combine the two, remove full seasons and tweak episode-level deletions in the same action.

How It Works — Step-by-Step Guide

1. Go to the TV Show or Anime page

   • Make sure it’s already added to your watchlist

2. Click “Manage Watch History”

   • Found under the Watch Progress panel

3. Choose “Delete Watched Episodes”

   • This option will appear only if the above conditions are met

4. Select the Seasons or Episodes you want to remove

   • Use checkboxes for seasons or the detailed episode selector

5. Review Deletions

   • Double-check what you’re about to delete to avoid data loss

6. Click “Execute Action”

   • This will remove your watch history only for the selected episodes

Why Use Use This Feature?

• Resetting Mistakes

You accidentally marked Season 3 as watched when you only finished Season 2? This lets you fix that.

• Restarting a Show

Planning a rewatch from scratch? Delete past progress to experience it like it’s your first time.

• Fixing Imported Data

Imported from another platform and ended up with duplicate or messy watch dates? Start clean.

• Compromised Account

Someone else marked episodes on your account or a Prank by friend? Reclaim your watchlist accuracy.

What Happens After Deletion

• The episodes you remove will be considered unwatched by SIMKL

• Your watch progress % will drop accordingly

• The show may move back to “Watching” or “Plan to Watch” if no episodes remain

• Any stats linked to “Time Spent Watching,” “First Watched,” or “Last Watched” will adjust automatically

• If you delete all watched episodes, it’s essentially like removing the title from your viewing history — though it remains in your watchlist unless removed manually

Delete Watched Episodes is the go-to feature for anyone wanting a fresh start or a corrected timeline. Whether you're a rewatching enthusiast, a perfectionist stat tracker, or just cleaning house after years of tracking, this feature ensures that your SIMKL profile stays clean, accurate, and uniquely yours.
