If you like fun  then you can just go to the listing page of you branches  for example merged  and just run in the javascript console   document querySelectorAll  tr td div a first-child   forEach function item    fetch  https   bitbucket org snippets new owner  lt yourprofilenick gt      credentials    same-origin    then  response    gt   return response text     then function string    return   csrfmiddlewaretoken  value        g exec string  1     then function csrf    if    item innerText indexOf       return    fetch  https   bitbucket org  api 2 0 repositories  lt your organization path gt  refs branches   item innerText     headers    x-csrftoken   csrf   credentials   same-origin   method   DELETE    then      gt  console log    item innerText  DELETED             BEFORE RUN   replace  lt yourprofilenick gt  with your BitBucket nick replace  lt your organization path gt  with your organization path   HOW IT WORKS  First we need a page with with a CSRF token in the page source  so I choose   https   bitbucket org snippets new owner  lt yourprofilenick gt   Then for each branch  in a branch listing  it gets CSRF token and deletes that branch   BEWARE  Remeber to prevent sensitive branches before deleting in repo settings    It WON T delete the main branch   ADDITIONAL INFO  You have to be logged in   It deletes only branches visible on that page  so to delete the rest of branches you have to go to the next page

I ve wrote this small script when the number of branches in my repo exceeded several hundreds  I did not know about the other methods  with CLI  so I decided to automate it with selenium  It simply opens Bitbucket website  goes to Branches  scrolls down the page to the end and clicks on every branch options menu -  clicks Delete button -  clicks Yes  It can be tuned to keep the last N  100 - default  branches and skip branches with specific names  master  develop - default  could be more    If this fits for you  you can try that way   https   github com globad remove-old-branches  All you need is to clone the repository  download the proper version of Chrome-webdriver  input few constants like URL to your repository and run the script   The code is simple enough to understand  If you have any questions  write comments   create an Issue

If the branches are only local  you can use -d if the branch has been merged  like  git branch -d branch-name   If the branch contains code you never plan on merging  use -D instead   If the branch is in the upstream repo  on Bitbucket  you can remove the remote reference by   git push origin  branch-name   Also  if you re on the Bitbucket website  you can remove branches you ve pushed by going to the Feature branches tab under Commits on the site  There you ll find an ellipsis icon  Click that  then choose Delete branch  Just be sure you want to drop all the changes there
