This can be a bit confusing, but even though these branches are deleted
they are still saved as refs in your repository. Only after a certain
time they get cleaned up by git gc.

Have a look at the configuration section of
  # git help gc

In particular, look at the value of gc.reflogExpire you are currently
using.
