I did some work on unbound as well (enabling to run multiple parallel unbound resolvers from launchd) and this has been pulled into the main repository. When that had happened, I deleted my branch. Apparently I forgot to do something because it still shows up in remotes/origin. Why, though? What did I forget to do?

Origin is your fork of upstream, and when you deleted your local branch, you apparently didn’t delete the same branch on origin.
Each repository is independent.
