+## Delete merged branches
+
+> [Introduced][ce-6449] in GitLab 8.14.
+
+![Delete merged branches](img/delete_merged_branches.png)
+
+This feature allows merged branches to be deleted in bulk. Only branches that
+have been merged and [are not protected][protected] will be deleted as part of
+this operation.
+
+It's particularly useful to clean up old branches that were not deleting
+automatically when a merge request was merged.
