What is the problem you are having with rclone?
When using rclone sync, files on the remote do not get deleted because the command has encountered errors (from the documentation: Note that files in the destination won't be deleted if there were any errors at any point). The errors are permission denied errors of files I don't need to upload anyway, and there are too many of these errors to exclude them manually. Can I force rclone to delete files on the remote somehow?
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.50.2
- os/arch: linux/amd64
- go version: go1.13.8
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Backblaze B2
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone sync /backups b2-crypt:/ -L --fast-list --transfers 16 --checkers 16 --exclude "/backups/home/[username]/.steam/**"
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

I have a lot of files that I sync so the output is incredibly large. Most lines are just "Unchanged skipping" but some are error lines like:

and
