git - delete a 'feature' branch using gitflow without merging into master branch

Question

I am using the Git GUI called 'Souretree' by Atlassian and in particular the 'Gitflow' module to manage various branches.

I just created a 'release' branch that I don't want to merge back into either the master or develop branches. How do I get rid of it ? Can I just delete it ? My concern is that I mess up the gitflow config.

I have only made one commit to this branch which i don't care about.
