I used git branch -d myBranch to delete a branch. However, when I am on master and try to checkout a new branch with git checkout, myBranch still appears in the tab-autocomplete.
How do I remove the name myBranch from tab-autocomplete for git checkout?

Like all deletes in svn, the branch is never really deleted, it's just removed from the current tree.
Steps to delete remote Git branchesIssue the git push origin –delete branch-name command, or use the vendor's online UI to perform a branch deletion. After the remote branch is deleted, then delete the remote tracking branch with the git fetch origin –prune command.
Delete a branch with git branch -d <branch> . The -d option will delete the branch only if it has already been pushed and merged with the remote branch. Use -D instead if you want to force the branch to be deleted, even if it hasn't been pushed or merged yet. The branch is now deleted locally.
Remove All Local Branches not on Remote First we get all remote branches using the git branch -r command. Next, we get the local branches not on the remote using the egrep -v -f /dev/fd/0 <(git branch -vv | grep origin) command, Finally we delete the branches using the xargs git branch -d command.
-d is a flag, an option to the command, and it's an alias for --delete. It denotes that you want to delete something, as the name suggests. - local_branch_name is the name of the branch you want to delete. Let's look into this in a bit more detail with an example. To list out all the local branches, you use the following command:
Delete one address: Open a new message. Enter a name in the To field. Then, highlight the name in the autocomplete list and select X. Delete all addresses in the autocomplete list: Go to the File tab and select Options > Mail > Empty Auto-Complete List.
Use it only when you are absolutely sure you want to delete a local branch. If you didn't merge it into another local branch or push it to a remote branch in the codebase, you will risk losing any changes you've made. Remote branches are separate from local branches.
The command to delete a remote branch is: Instead of using the git branch command that you use for local branches, you can delete a remote branche with the git push command. Then you specify the name of the remote, which in most cases is origin.
git fetch --prune --all
Posting this as its own answer since it's a one-line fix, but if you vote be sure to vote for twalberg's answer.
twalberg's suggestion to git branch -a led me on the right track; my coworker suggested git fetch --prune --all to prune all the dead branches from all the remotes, which is useful when working with lots of devs with lots of forks.
