Can't delete branch SourceTree

I am using Github and also SourceTree. I have made a git clone of my project.

Now when I try to delete a branch I made local, I face the following error:

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false branch -D develop
error: Cannot delete branch 'develop' checked out at 'C:/Users/näZAN/Documents/Protractor'
Completed with errors, see above.

I am pretty new to working with branches, etc.

You cannot delete a branch that you are currently on.

If you want to delete the develop branch, you'll first need to create and switch to another one.

Note: This isn't specific to Sourcetree; this is how git works.
