Should I prune this? was created by RobertG

Hi, new guy here.
I have owned, and unfortunately neglected, this bougainvillea for about 15 years and finally have some time to take care of it. (I just retired
) There's one branch that I think should go, but I'm not a hundred percent sure.
What does everyone think? One or two?
Thanks
Rob

...And it has 
. I have babbled on and it in the end has resulted in pointlessness. Yes, i agree with your choice of branch to remove (the one erased in second photo).

I beg to differ. I would not remove that branch, it's in a good position there.
Wish I'd seen that other photo earlier... as I've been playing with the first ones and now the result makes no sense
Based on the first one, where I see a lot of very long branches, I was wondering making it a wind-swept style would be a good idea.
