Well how about the --delete-before and/or --delete-after options as mentioned on the Rsync - Man. I think the Robocopy function you are referring to is the /PURGE option and I think one of those two or maybe both will do what you need—simple enough to test.

I'll alter the question to include that in case you are willing to post it as an answer. It would really help a lot with the immediate problem, even if it doesn't fix rsync. TNX | |

So you want to remove all *.Trash* directories that were already copied?
