Delete remote branch displayed on local by 'git branch -a'

Question

I'm using GitHub, when I git branch -a, it shows like this:

  master
* develop
  remotes/origin/HEAD
  remotes/origin/develop
  remotes/origin/master
  remotes/origin/feature001
  remotes/origin/feature002
  remotes/origin/feature003

I have deleted feature001~003 on GitHub.com, How can I delete them locally? I mean not show when I do git branch -a.

Generally you should just run git fetch -p (or --prune, same meaning). However, there's a bug (being fixed) that sometimes requires running git remote --prune instead; see this question and answers.

(If necessary you can delete them manually by using git update-ref -d with the full name, or editing the underlying git repository files and directories.)
