How to remove commit and not merged branch

I'd like to remove a branch which contains only one commit. This branch has not never merged.

This is the log:

* 3554555 - (6 days ago) SHA-1 to SHA-2
* 6526045 - (6 days ago) swagger updated
| * f9026f1 - (5 days ago) Using LocalDateTime (HEAD -> dates)
|/  
* bf2c6c2 - (6 days ago) Collect request parameters on audit

So, I'd like to remove this orphan dates branch and its commit f9026f1.

Any ideas?

You certainly can reset the head of the branch

git checkout dates
git reset --hard HEAD~1

But frankly, since the branch is just a human friendly name given to a commit id, why not just delete it and fork a new one.

git checkout master
git branch -D dates
