# 15 How to delete an unsupported FreeBSD branch

When an old branch goes out of support, there are some things to garbage-collect.

- (new codebase) Edit `/var/portbuild/conf/server.conf` with the following changes:

  - Delete `old-branch` from `SRC_BRANCHES`.

  - Delete `SRC_BRANCH_`old-branch`_TAG` `=`whatever``

- (both): `umount a/snap/src-`old-branch`/src; umount a/snap/src-`old-branch`; zfs destroy -r a/snap/src-`old-branch``

- (both) You will probably find that the following files and symlinks in `/var/portbuild/errorlogs/` can be removed:

  - Files named `*-`old_branch`-failure.html`

  - Files named `buildlogs_*-`old_branch`-*-logs.txt`

  - Symlinks named `*-`old_branch`-previous*`

  - Symlinks named `*-`old_branch`-latest*`
