Systems and methods for performing an action based on viewing positions of other users

A system comprising:

• communication circuitry configured to access a progress time corresponding to a device viewing a media asset;
• and
• control circuitry configured to:
• access, via the communication circuitry, a plurality of progress times corresponding to a plurality of devices viewing the media asset to determine whether each device has progressed beyond a particular time portion of the media asset, wherein each of the plurality of devices is remotely accessing a stored copy of the media asset, and wherein a progress time for a respective device of the plurality of devices indicates what time portion of the media asset was accessed by the respective device;
• in response to determining, based on the plurality of progress times, that every device of the plurality of devices has progressed beyond the particular time portion of the media asset, wherein the particular time portion is before an ending time of the media asset:
• determine an earliest progress time of the plurality of progress times by identifying a progress time of the plurality of progress times that indicates access to a time portion of the media asset that is closer to the particular time portion of the media asset that is after the beginning of the media asset than other progress times of the plurality of progress times;
• identify a corresponding device of the plurality of devices that corresponds to the earliest progress time of the plurality of progress times;
• and
• automatically cause to be displayed, at the identified corresponding device without receiving a user interface input requesting to delete the stored copy of the media asset, an option to delete the stored copy of the media asset, wherein the stored copy of the media asset is deleted in response to selection of the option.
