As you sure about this?

--delete-before receiver deletes before transfer (default)
I.e., "--delete-before" is the default action. It only affect the files
to be copied over. Nothing else.
--delete-before
Request that the file-deletions on the receiving side be
done before the transfer starts. See --delete (which is
implied) for more details on file-deletion.
Deleting before the transfer is helpful if the
filesystem is tight for space and removing extraneous
files would help to make the transfer possible.
However, it does introduce a delay before the start of
the transfer, and this delay might cause the transfer to
timeout (if --timeout was specified). It also forces
rsync to use the old, non-incremental recursion
algorithm that requires rsync to scan all the files in
the transfer into memory at once (see --recursive).
