Careful... I would not throw apps out unless you're willing to interview and accept a job offer. If you decline an interview or job offer, you may burn that bridge forever.
It's good to have apps on file (sustained interest often counts), but if you're not actually prepared to make the move, I'd keep your available date about one year out so you'd don't get called before you're ready.
