one of the big benefits of rsync is that you do not need to
delete anything on the destination - the opposite: if you stop
for whatever reason you can restart rsync as often needed and
finally oyu have a 1:1 copy of the source

the --delete-after param should be suggested to

this is to get rid of files no longer on the source
i prefrer the "after" because on large lists it is
easier to see at the end waht has been removed

in the meantime i use rsync even on local filesystems
and single files because i prefer use one tool everywhere
for the same operation and love the copy of attributes

--delete-during maybe the better option if the target
has limited space
