Tip

Fetch won't delete remote-tracking branches in your local repo cache that no longer have a remote counterpart. To configure Visual Studio to prune stale remote-tracking branches during a Fetch:

  • Select Tools > Options > Source Control > Git Global Settings.
  • Set the Prune remote branches during fetch option to True.
