Even if I run delete branch both locally and remotely, inevitably I still see all those deleted branch whenever I run command 'git branch -a'

I want to delete all those branches forever. How could I achieve this?

    Is it showing up as a remote branch? How did you delete it remotely? By going into the remote machine and deleting the branch from the repo "locally"? Then you have to run `git fetch --prune` so that your local repo notices that the branch has been deleted on the remote. – eftshift0 Sep 15 '18 at 06:02

In case of when you delete git push --delete to remove remote branch, I found out that those branches still exists in local repositories so that, I could delete git fetch --prune command for help from @etfshift0 above
