## Deleting a protected branch
> [Introduced][ce-21393] in GitLab 9.3.
From time to time, it may be required to delete or clean up branches that are
protected.
User with [Master permissions][perm] and up can manually delete protected
branches via GitLab's web interface:
1. Visit **Repository > Branches**
1. Click on the delete icon next to the branch you wish to delete
1. In order to prevent accidental deletion, an additional confirmation is
required
![Delete protected branches](img/protected_branches_delete.png)
Deleting a protected branch is only allowed via the web interface, not via Git.
This means that you can't accidentally delete a protected branch from your
command line or a Git client application.
## Changelog
 
**9.2**
- Allow deletion of protected branches via the web interface [gitlab-org/gitlab-ce#21393][ce-21393]
**8.11**
 
- Allow creating protected branches that can't be pushed to [gitlab-org/gitlab-ce!5081][ce-5081]
