How to delete a profile on Hulu

Michael Bizzaco
By

One of the great benefits of a Hulu subscription is not having to share in the cinematic or televised preferences of your kin and pals. Hulu allows you to add up to six different users under a single account, which means that everyone gets to pick and save their favorite movies and shows without butting in on the content of others. If the time ever comes to eliminate a profile, however, Hulu makes it fairly simple to get rid of a user.

In this step-by-step guide, we’ll teach you how to delete a Hulu profile using your home computer and/or mobile device. Keep in mind that once a profile is deleted, it cannot be retrieved, so make sure you’re committed to removing your in-laws from your account before ousting them to a lesser streaming service.

Three men stand in front of table in Air.

Finding a great movie to watch can, somewhat perversely, be more difficult now than it was in an era when you had fewer choices. Now, you have access to a ton of streaming services, and each of those streaming services has plenty of great films, as well as a few terrible ones. Amazon Prime Video is one of those services filled to the brim with great movies, so much so that it can be hard to pick one.

We've selected three great, underrated movies that are now available on Prime Video, but that may not seem like obvious movies to pick. If you're looking for something great to watch, but don't want to wade through all the choices, these three movies are an excellent place to start.

3 Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend (April 19-21)
Maika Monroe and Avan Jogia in The Stranger.

If you're a subscriber to Disney+, then you may have noticed that its home page is swimming in content that originated on Hulu. Between the two Disney-owned streamers, Hulu is the one that actually has a worthy lineup beyond the familiar brands of Disney+. That's important for movie lovers, because Hulu also has a terrific selection of films, with new titles added throughout the month.

Since we're big believers in offering as many options as possible, our picks for the three Hulu movies that you need to stream this weekend include a thriller, a romance, and a comedy. We're not against running with the occasional fantasy, sci-fi, or horror film, but for the weekend of April 19-21, the following three movies are our picks for Hulu subscribers.

This underrated 2019 action movie is a big hit on Netflix now. Here’s why you need to watch it
Sasha Luss in Anna.

If it seems like there's an unexpected champion on top of the list of Netflix's most popular movies every week, that's because there often is. There's always at least one film that comes out of nowhere and blows away the competition from both the major studios and Netflix itself. This week, that movie is Anna, a 2019 action thriller from writer/director Luc Besson that bombed during its initial run in theaters. But when has that ever stopped Netflix users from embracing a flick?

One of the big reasons why Anna failed to connect with audiences the first time is that Lionsgate dropped Anna in theaters with little fanfare, so it wasn't surprising when people simply didn't show up to see it. Now that the film is enjoying a surge of popularity, it's time to go over the four reasons why you should watch Anna on Netflix.
