As an Admin I could delete it, but I can't restore it :thinking:

Since https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/2108 we delete branches in a background job (so it can be restored later on). It should be deleted within 24h (by default).

@Bwko You wrote that feature. Is there a way to delete a branch immediately?

@bkcsoft Thank you for your information!

[Wooden-Robot]

@bkcsoft Nope, I'll look into that

This issue was closed even there was no working solution for the real problem.
I wanted to reuse a name of a deleted branch but didnt found a way to do this. I get an error because of the old branch which used the same name.
