rsync --delete

[Ken Chase]

Wow, it took me a few seconds to figure out what you were trying to do.

What's wrong with rm?

Also I think trying to leverage the side of disqualifying all source files
just to get the delete effect (very clever but somewhat obtuse!) risks
creating a temporary file of some kind in the target at the start of the
operation, and if you cant even mkdir then that exceeds disk quota
immediately and fails.
