I've deleted some remote branches (dev/featureA and dev/featureB) however when I run git remote show origin I still see them being listed under the local branches section. E.g.

$ git remote show origin

Local branches configured for 'git pull':
  dev/featureA                  merges with remote dev/featureA
  dev/featureB                  merges with remote dev/featureB

Do I need to disable tracking or something similar?

This one worked for me 

 git branch -r -d dev/featureA

To remove the remote repository from being tracked all together locally, do the following: git remote remove <remoteRepo>

To explicitly remove only the upstream tracking for a specific local branch , do the following: git branch --unset-upstream <branch name>

git branch --unset-upstream dev/featureA

To remove all stale local branches that are not longer available at the remote, do the following:

git remote prune <remoteRepo>

I'd be careful with the last one and do a --dry-run of the prune first...

Snow try with the next command:

git fetch origin --prune

This command is to remove deleted branches. If not, please visit this link and see if some of those command could help you. Regards!
