Remove partially copied files from destination

[agneev]

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I'm trying to remove files that were copied partially with rclone copy.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.62.2
- os/version: ubuntu 22.04 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 5.15.0-1026-raspi (aarch64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: arm64 (ARMv8 compatible)
- go/version: go1.20.2
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Local

hi,
might try something like

rclone check /path/to/source /path/to/dest --size-only --one-way --differ=/path/to/file.lst
rclone delete /path/to/dest --files-from=/path/to/file.lst -vv --dry-run

I assume the first command will read the entire file from the source?

@agneev

will read the entire file from the source?

by default, rclone check compare hashes,
on local, rclone would have to read the entire source file and read the entire dest file.

in your case, partial files should have different file sizes.
using --size-only, rclone will stat the file, not read contents.
