Hello! The last few versions of Podcasts across iOS/watchOS/macOS seem to have a behavior where if you play any episode of a podcast, it decides you now want to see all new episodes of that podcast in the Home tab, despite not being subscribed. I despise this, but I don't think it can be changed, other than always Removing them from that tab until that podcast stops showing up.

However, these episodes all show up on my Apple Watch on the main screen as Downloaded. How can I clear these episodes, or get Podcasts to stop downloading episodes of podcasts I'm not subscribed to?
