Sync behaviour on exclude

[Kelly_Trinh]

Background:

Had a rclone sync job from A to B set up and running smoothly.

To optimize space usage on B - I decided to no longer sync some folders from A and exclude them from the job using the '--exclude'

When running rclone sync - I realized that while it won't automatically delete the folders in A the exclude list that are in B; is this intended as it is somewhat counter intuitive since sync will remove from from B that aren't otherwise in A.

is this intended as it is somewhat counter intuitive

well, might think of it as a default safety feature.
Excludes path/file names from an rclone command

@Kelly_Trinh

won't automatically delete the folders in A the exclude list that are in B

what about --delete-excluded - Delete files on dest excluded from sync

Oh ok so intentional. Didnt know about that option. Thanks for tip.
