Stop Ghost from sending picutures

I set up a Ghost on the only available tree in the right spot. Evidently it moves in the wind causing false triggers. Long story short it was Very windy for about 2 days straight and I am looking at hundreds and hundreds of pictures. (Actually possibly a thousand based on calculations) I set the daily photo limit to 40 hoping to temper the flow some and not destroy data and batteries.... Is there a way I can tell the camera to Mark all of the photos yet to come as already sent or something?

  You can't do anything about the pictures the camera already took, do you have it set to batch send or instant?

  Rather than setting daily limit of 40, maybe use a longer trigger interval so you’ll get pics scattered through the day.

  It’s set to batch send and 40 Max photos per day. I did that hoping to slow the incoming pictures and conserve battery/data while looking for a solution.

  I sent a request to format the SD card as I don’t care about the pictures. Will be moving the camera in a few days to fix the problem.

  I would turn the batch off and make your delay as long as possible to cut down on the pictures. There's an M at the bottom of the pics correct?

  Yes there is an M. When I realized what was going on I set the delay to 30 min right away.

  Will stopping the batch mode still have the camera send all of the pictures it’s already taken?

  I am pretty sure if you turn off the batch it will not send any of the previous pictures, it may send one more batch of them depending on what the next thing the camera does is. If it is a status report I don't think it will send the pics but if it happens at a batch time then it's going to send the pics before it gets the message to turn the batch off. When in batch mode it takes and stores the pictures until batch delivery time, there is a maximum number of pics it will send per batch and the rest are stored until the next batch time, who knows how many you have on the camera waiting to be sent. What is the date on the last picture that it sent?
