Clean up empty branches
Over time our development application is left with so many empty branches (100+) after many merges.
How can we automatically remove (or delete) them?

To delete empty branches automatically, you can use the Pega API. You can create an activity that calls the `Branch` API and uses the `deleteBranch` method to delete empty branches. In the `deleteBranch` method, you can specify the branch name and the `deleteEmpty` parameter as `true` to delete empty branches.
Here is an example of how to use the `deleteBranch` method in an activity:
``` Call Branch.deleteBranch with parameters: .BranchName = "BranchName" .deleteEmpty = true ```
You can then schedule this activity to run at a specific time interval to automatically delete empty branches.

@Chandrakanth BDoes this clean up branches in batch as well if you omit the BranchName parameter? I can remember I previously logged a ticket with Pega to delete 'orphaned' branches in bulk : )
