Command to delete from remote if exists local

Help and Support

Hi. what the best line of code to use to delete file(s) from remote after it has copied to local from a google drive, ensuring first a 1 to 1 match (rclone check?). There may be 1 or multiple files in the remote drive.

Presently my copy command looks like this:

rclone copy safebox:sync /mnt/user/downloads/incomplete/
–transfers=100 --checkers=100 --min-age 15m --log-file=$LOGFILE

You probably want to use rclone move for this, which will ensure the MD5SUM of the file matches before deleting the remote copy.

i’ll try that @ncw. Thanks! also, are the other commands ok, e.g. transfers and checkers?

Yes. sync copy and move all run on the same engine just with a few tweaks.
