I just found out my birth father isn't my birth father through dna. Is there an easy way to delete the whole branch on my birth father's side? I already edited it and put my true birth father's name but that's all I've done because my true birth father was adopted like me and don't know anything about him except his adopted name, Halligan.

You can't delete the branch, but you can disconnect from it.  Open your profile, and go to the Edit screen. On the right, you can mark your not-father as non-biological, but he'll still show as your father in the tree.  Or you can click Edit Father, then click Remove.  Either way, you should probably add a note in your profile regarding the DNA results.

And welcome to G2G.  Sorry if this discovery was traumatic for you.
