Can't delete ... a deleted branch?

I have this branch, which shows it was deleted 2 weeks ago, never seen that before ... but anyway I can't delete it, so how do I get rid of it?

Thanks for the image. You're seeing this because:

The branch 135-mobile-app-v4 was deleted from the remote 2 weeks ago, likely after a merge.

However, the associated pull request (PR) is still open or cached.

The trash icon (🗑️) is shown, but clicking it gives no effect because the branch is already gone — so GitHub has nothing to delete.

Check if there's an open pull request that refrences that branch, if yes, then close it.

There wasn’t. My fix was just to create a new branch with the same name, force push it up and then delete it.
