How do I clean up previously tracked branches in SourceTree?

Question

I've got several branches that I've worked on that have been tracked on origin.

The branches have been merged into master and have been deleted on origin.

If I use the 'Fetch' option and select the 'Purge' option, I can see that branches that have been removed on origin.

But the list of branches I see locally still exist.

I can see that at this stage, there's no difference between a local branch that has not been pushed to origin and a branch that had previously been pushed to origin but is now deleted on origin.

Is there a way to keep this in sync in some way?

By that I mean, if the branch is deleted on origin, then really delete it locally, including the tracking branch data (I think that's what the list of branches is in SourceTree under WORKSPACE - not the Remote branches).

I'm on MacOS using SourceTree 2.7.3 (169) with the dark theme.

Why wouldnt they make the same functionality also available for OSX. I dont understand why this would need to be requested for OSX users separatly, makes no sense with development in mind.
