To elaborate on what Dan said: What has happened is that your local record of the remote references has 400+ remote branch references. Some time ago, I raised the same concern that you have here, and we got that number down to a couple dozen. But your local references are still there.
git fetch origin will update your local references to your remotes, and the --prune option on that command will remove any local references that are no longer on the remote. For what it's worth, we do seem to have a handful of branches that are still getting pushed to origin for the sake of PRs, etc. While remembering to delete your branches after the PR gets merged is well and good, I'd take it one step farther and encourage everyone to not sully the common space with their work-in-progress or PR branches. That's exactly what a fork is for. And then we don't get into this case of accruing extra references on origin in the first place.
