The TL;DR version is that this row is a complicated partnership between 6+ companies; streaming services, Google and TELUS. The team is looking into a 'remove' action but for now, you can do this remove action within an individual app (Prime Video, for example) and it reflects on the TELUS box after a restart/reboot/power cycle/new session (NOT a factory reset).
'Resume from your Apps' is a row that leverages a Google-specific API (also called 'Continue Watching' on Google TV devices). What this means is that it pulls bookmarks from Disney+, Apple TV and Prime Video (and Netflix, if your device is running Android TV 14). IF you watch something from one of these apps on a TELUS set-top box (or Google/Android device), the API generally remembers where you left off across devices. The refresh timing and appearance behaviour is determined by Google and varies by service, and the TELUS box simply acts as a pass-through. So when you watch something from Disney+, for example, you are in Disney's app, in their ecosystem, and TELUS has very little control of what they communicate to Google. I have found that Prime Video and Netflix are the most predictable, whereas Apple and Disney vary a little bit more.
That said, the team is investigating how we can implement press and hold actions on more rows on the Home page and if it is possible to do, we will endeavour to implement it on 'Resume from your apps'. You are able to go into the individual apps and remove items from continue watching, and this then reflects on the 'Resume from your apps' on the TELUS set-top box.

I swear TELUS_Support is often Ai. Why does this simple problem need to be addressed by PM.
choose the item you wish to remove from resume and long press the center button to bring up remove, click it and gone.

- Rocky. That works for Recordings, but not for Resume from your apps.
- As an aside I found an easier way to get rid of Multiple Resumes from the Prime App
- In the Prime App
- Open Settings - Recommendations
- Change from Enabled to Disabled
- Turn box off & on
