^^^^^^^^^^^
Notice the missing space. From the git push manpage:
git push origin :experimental
^
Find a ref that matches experimental in the origin repository (e.g.
refs/heads/experimental), and delete it.
The syntax (with all the unused stuff removed) is 'git push <repository> <refspec>'
If you don't supply any repository (as you did with your cmdline), the default
remote repository is used. Your command tried to push the local branch 'origin' into
the remote branch 'test' of your default remote repository. Correct would be
git push :test # or git push origin :test
The refspec :test means push empy/nothingness into the branch 'test', which will delete it.
