Answer 1

According to @VonC answer and this SF Question an alternative solution is run this command in VS Code Terminal or any terminal in your git repository :

git fetch --prune

Answer 2

That was requested here but PR 25862 only implemented the git local branch deletion, not the remote one.

GitLens also requested that feature.

For now, you still need to push the deletion of a local branch in order to delete the remote one.
