Overview
CircleCI automatically deletes branches when we receive a branch deletion event from your VCS provider. For various reasons, this may become out of sync.
Instructions:
-
Push the same branch name up to your VCS provider
-
Run the deletion once again to trigger the deletion
The branch should now be deleted.
Additional Notes
If you attempt to delete a branch while a job connected to that branch is still running, the branch will be re-created in CircleCI when the job is finished. Please allow all jobs running on a branch to finish before deleting them from the VCS provider to assure they will stay deleted.
