Visual Studio Code - remove branches deleted on GitHub that still show in VS Code?

In VSCode, after I do a pull request and delete the branch on GitHub, that branch still shows up in Visual Studio Code. If I select the branch, it gives an Error, as expected. <

Local branches can be removed from Visual Studio Code by opening the Command Pallete (Ctrl-Shift-P) then Selecting Git: Delete Branch..., you can then delete the local branch by selecting the appropriate one from the list.
