How to override single remote branch?

I have 2 remote branches, branch1 & branch2.

I created branch3 locally by cloning branch2, and I want my branch3 to be pushed with the overridden version of branch2 as a new separate, independent branch.

The problem is that when I push my local branch3 to the remote, branch3 still contains the files from the branch2, which I deleted in the new branch3..

Is there any better way to fix this branch issue?

You must stop the tracking to the remote branch from the local branch branch3, then the remote branch is branch2, because branch3 was cloned from there:

$ git branch3 --unset-upstream

After this, push the local branch (branch3) new to remote, as a new independent remote branch:

$ git push -u origin branch3
