How can I refresh the list of remote branches in my Visual Studio Team Explorer panel?

In the Visual Studio 2017, Team Explorer, Branches panel, I could see the 10 or so branches in our VSTS instance.

Then in Chrome, I deleted some of the older branches and created a new branch.

Switched back to VS 2017, but the list of remotes/origin branches still shows the old list, and I can't find anyway to refresh it.

I tried changing to a different repo, the F5 Refresh on the team explorer header, I even closed and reopened VS 2017 ... but nothing refreshes the list to match what VSTS portal shows

If you want Visual Studio 2017 to ALWAYS prune on fetch (I do, I add and remove a LOT of branches for UI work), once you install 3rd party Git (can do from Settings within Team Explorer, Git section) there will be a new option in Global Settings (also in Git section) to 'Prune remote branches during fetch' which you can set to True. I did not have this option before updating my VS to 15.5 (I was on 15.0).
