I have a lot of open jobs do to my computer fing up and me having to fix it.

Is there any way you can remove from "In Progress" anything before jun 24 or work Unit 2498234122 so they can get worked on by other people?

Your <100 tasks on board are so small part of the whole picture so it doesn't matter when they will be processed.

You can see that some radio-data recorded in 2010 are sent to us just now (look under "Splitter status").
And "Results received in last hour 55,542" (which is 1000 times more than your 'waiting' tasks).
And "Results returned and awaiting validation 5,141,148" (5 million returned results wait for another matching result, you contribute for only ~50 of them to wait)
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_status.html


And they (the project) have huge heap of data ("signals") collected already "to look at".
See the numbers under "Master Science Database":

No need to sorry, you try to help the project and that is OK
But your 'problem' happens all the time with many people and tasks and it will not hurt the project.

P.S.
If you want to 'Lock Thread': click the small red square under your post and say something like 'Lock my Thread, please'
