manpagesynopsis()
--delete-delay find deletions during, delete after
--delete-after receiver deletes after transfer, not before
--delete-excluded also delete excluded files from dest dirs
+ --delete-missing-args receiver deletes each missing source arg
--ignore-errors delete even if there are I/O errors
--force force deletion of dirs even if not empty
--max-delete=NUM don't delete more than NUM files
bf(--delete-excluded).
See bf(--delete) (which is implied) for more details on file-deletion.
+dit(bf(--delete-missing-args)) Any source arg that is found to me missing is
+treated as a request to delete the file by the receiver rather than the sender
+generating a missing-file error. Does not affect vanished files discovered
+through recursive scanning of directories, just the args mentioned on the
+command-line or in the bf(--files-from) list. Can be used with or without any
+other type of delete processing.
+
dit(bf(--ignore-errors)) Tells bf(--delete) to go ahead and delete files
even when there are I/O errors.
