[Discussion] Rsync '--delete'

Would it be possible to include (as an additional mode for example) the option to delete destination files that are no longer present in the source. { something like "incremental backup with delete" }.
I am aware of the caveats that would apply, but that would be a user decision.

Synchronous deletion is a dangerous operation with irreversible results. It requires comparing the files of the destination and the source, and a two-way connection needs to be established. However, the choice is up to the customer, and I will feedback the demand to the product team.
