# Deleting a locally created Branch
This will be handy when you accidentally misspelled a branch name.
This can be done in *3* ways
```
git branch -D <branch_name>
```
```
git branch --delete --force <branch_name> # Same as -D
```
```
git branch --delete <branch_name> # Error on unmerge
```
-D stands for --delete --force which will delete the branch even it's not merged (force delete), but you can also use -d which stands for --delete which throws an error respective of the branch merge status...
