How do I delete local remote-tracking branches when remote branch is deleted?

Question

I deleted a branch silver3 in Bitbucket.

I fetched changes.

However, in my local machine (Using Eclipse 4.4.2), origin/silver3 still exists.

How can I ensure that the deletion of this branch causes the deletion of my local remote-tracking branch origin/silver3, without having to manually delete it locally? I'd prefer to do this in Eclipse (egit).

Answer 1

In Eclipse, Window -> Preferences -> Team -> Git -> Configuration -> Repository Settings tab.

Select the Repository.

Select Add Entry.

Add Key "fetch.prune" and Value "true"
