Here's how I proceed in Netbeans 8.1 (without using the terminal):

  1. Team -> Repository -> Repository browser.
  2. Repository browser is opened on the bottom. Go Branches -> Local (or Remote, depending on which one you need to delete).
  3. Select the branch you want to delete, right click on it, and choose Delete option.

I know I'm late, but I hope it'll help somebody in the future.

Footnote: Make sure you're not currently active in the branch you want to delete as the delete option will be greyed out. Switch to another branch then you can delete the one you need.
