I created a branch notmaster to commit as well as push some changes. When I was finished with that branch, I merged the changes back into master, pushed them out, and then deleted the local notmaster.

$ git branch -a
* master
  remotes/origin/master
  remotes/origin/notmaster

Is there anyway to delete the remote notmaster?

A little more clarity, with the solution from Ionut:

The usual method failed for me:

$ git push origin :notmaster
error: dst refspec notmaster matches more than one.

That's because I had a tag with the same name as the branch. This was a poor choice on my behalf and caused the ambiguity. So in that case:

$ git push origin :refs/heads/notmaster
