Should I trim the dead branches off of my frost bitten fig tree?

Question

I accidentally left my fig tree out in the cold and it got frost bitten. Most (but not all) of the leaves have fallen off. It has been several weeks and I am not noticing any leaves regenerating yet, but the remaining leaves are doing well. Should I trim off the branches with no leaves remaining or just let them be?
