Git: dealing with remote branches from a removed remote

  1. git branch -a shows remotes/team/master and remotes/team/my-branch

  2. git remote rm team says "error: Could not remove config section 'remote.team'" (because I edited the config file with a text editor).

Since the team remote is gone, how can I delete these (local) remote branches?

To delete remote tracking branches:

git branch -rd team/master

-r means remote. So -rd means to delete remote tracking branches.

To automatically remote any remote tracking branches which don't have an upstream branch anymore:

git remote prune
