# Remove a branch from indexing

## Permissions

Requires a service user with the `IndexOrgRepositories` permission at the organization level.

## Behavior

Removes a specific branch from indexing for the specified repository. If no branches remain after removal, indexing is automatically disabled for the repository.

Returns 404 if the branch is not configured for indexing.
