# Deleting a local branch

## About this task

When working on a Git managed project, you can delete local branches you created from your Talend Studio.

## Procedure

1. If you are currently on the local branch you want to delete, switch to another branch first.

   For more information, see [Switching between branches or tags](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/studio-user-guide/8.0-R2024-04-and-earlier/switching-between-branches-or-tags "Talend Studio allows you to switch between branches of a project without the need of restarting it.").
2. Click the top bar of the Repository tree view, select the local branch you want to delete from the drop-down menu, and then select Delete Branch from the sub-menu.
3. In the Delete dialog box, click OK to confirm your action.

## Results

The selected local branch is now deleted.
