    After pruning, you can get the list of remote branches with `git branch -r`. The list of branches with their remote tracking branch can be retrieved with `git branch -vv`. So using these two lists you can find the remote tracking branches that are not in the list of remotes.

    1:
    ```
    $ git fetch --prune
    ```

    2:
    ```
    $ git branch -r | awk '{print $1}' | egrep -v -f /dev/fd/0 <(git branch -vv | grep origin) | awk '{print $1}' | xargs git branch -d
    ```
