How to clear branches dropdown in GitExtensions

Question

My branches dropdown (the dropdown between the Repositories dropdown and Stash button) is cluttered with lots of old branches that don't even exist on the remote anymore.

How can I clear this?

Answer 1

We have a plugin called "Delete obsolete branches" - Tools > Delete obsolete branches. There you can select and delete branches that were merged into the current trunk.

I rarely use it, so I do not know all nuances of that plugin, and it offers a few different switches. You can probably delete stale branches from other trunks, but I haven't explored it.
