Netflix does not provide a separate list of typed search terms that you can delete. You can hide watched movies and episodes from a profile's Viewing activity. In a web browser, open Netflix Account > Profiles, choose the profile, open Viewing activity, and select the hide icon beside a title. Netflix says the change can take up to 24 hours to reach every device.
Under Profiles, select the profile whose watched titles you want to change, then open Viewing activity. Do not edit another household member's profile.

Understand what can be removed
The list contains movies and episodes that were watched. Netflix does not show an editable list of every phrase typed into Search, so an individual search term cannot be deleted.
4
Hide one title
Select the hide icon beside the movie or episode. When hiding an episode, choose the entire-series option only if every episode should be removed from that profile's history.
5
Avoid Hide all unless intended
Use Hide all at the bottom only when the complete viewing history for that profile should be hidden. This also changes recommendations and Continue Watching.
6
Wait for devices to update
Netflix says a hidden title can take up to 24 hours to disappear from all devices. Do not repeat the action while the account is still updating.
Return to Viewing activity and then open Netflix on the other device with the same profile. Kids profiles cannot hide titles from their Viewing activity page.

If it does not work
If the title remains before 24 hours have passed, wait for the account change to finish instead of deleting the profile.
If you are using a Kids profile, switch only to an authorized non-Kids profile to manage its own viewing activity.
