How do you delete unneeded GitHub branches in dbt Cloud? I’ve deleted branches in GitHub but a local copy of these branches still exists in dbt Cloud. I see that these branches are moved to the bottom of the list of branches in dbt Cloud, but I want to remove them completely. I tried to refresh git state, but this didn’t change anything.

Would you mind trying to reclone your repository in dbt Cloud? You can find the option to do so at the bottom right of the IDE page
