Delete Branch from Branches View
See original GitHub issueDescribe the feature or problem you’d like to solve
I would like to be able to delete branches from the branches selection menu, along with PRs.
Proposed solution
Add a little trash can icon next to the branch you want to delete. When you click it, it will come up with a notice saying what it will do. If the user clicks Confirm, the branch will be deleted. If the user clicks cancel, the branch will not be deleted. The Master Branch cannot be deleted from it.

@tierninho I totally agree with you there. Even if I like the feature which is something good to have, the deleting branch is not a frequent action. The way this feature is done in the application is better.
@TheCrafters001 Thanks for the suggestion. I can imagine that we do not want to make deleting a branch too exposed as it may get clicked accidentally too often, despite the warning message. There is similar logic behind omitting a
ctl/cmd-Dkeyboard shortcut.As both your suggestion and the current way take two clicks, I am hesitant to move forward. Going to label this appropriately and see if we get any relevant feedback from other users before taking any further action.
