- --delete and --files-from don't work together.

- --files-from is for specifying an exact list of what to copy.
Therefore there can't be anything to delete because there is nothing
it looks at other than the specified list.

Also, never ever use "dest/*"  Your shell will expand that to a list
of everything that matches "dest/*" and rsync will think you are
specifying a bunch of additional sources with the very last one being
the target.  Nothing good will happen.
