Visual Studio 2015 & 2017

1. Open up Team Explorer and go to the Branches view.
2. Locate the branch you want to delete. Make sure that you aren't checked out to that branch-you can't delete the branch you are currently working in.
3. Right-click the branch name and select Delete. If you have unpublished changes, Visual Studio will ask and make sure you want to delete the branch so you don't possibly lose work
