But I get another error:

Any idea?

It is harmless. It is just that "git push origin :refs/heads/testbranch"
cannot remove your local reference to that branch because you already have
removed it by running "git branch -d -r origin/testbranch"

Normally you just run "git push origin :refs/heads/testbranch" without
"git branch -d -r origin/testbranch" and then you will not have this error.
