"branch" has two meanings:

1. A branch specification, as created by "p4 branch".  This is just a map
   that allows you to perform integrations from one set of files to another.

2. A set of files (often a directory tree) that have been copied from one
   location to another by integrating through a branch map.

You can delete a branch specification without worrying about the files
that have been branched through it.  The branched files can be deleted
as you would delete any other files.
