Just do it. Branches under SVN are cheap, go fast, and are pretty easy to work with. Even better, because a branch is just another named directory in SVN's virtual file system, you can "svn remove" it when you're done with it (just like any other directory).

That's all true. Of course, removing the branch won't free up any disk space - it will just remove the branch from the view (IOW, it is also easy to bring it back if it was removed mistakenly).
