title: How do I remove deleted Git branches from Visual Studio 2015
body: <p>Visual Studio continues to show any branch I've pulled, even after that branch has been deleted (and I do not have it as the selected branch).</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>"<code>git fetch --all --prune</code>" does not remove them. git config</li>
  <li>"<code>remote.origin.prune true</code>" (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38302588/visual-studio-2013-remove-deleted-git-branches">suggested here</a>) does not remove them.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>How can I remove the deleted branches from my system?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong> I want an approach that determines what branches are gone and deletes them. If we select them specifically then sooner or later someone will delete a branch in use by mistake.</p>
