Hello I'm looking for a way to exclude and delete some items but not delete other items. Use case:
I'm on Windows where there are folders like recycle.bin and system volume information on every drive. I can exclude them while backing up my data drive. But I now also have other data that is excluded and that I want to delete from my existing backup. However if I use --delete-excluded then rsync tries to delete the (write protected) system volume information from the destination disk. Is there a way to get around this with only rsync parameters? Do I have to move the destination into a directory to get rid of the interfering drive root folders in the sync process?
