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. /kc On Thu, Apr 16, 2015 at 12:20:52PM +0300, ????? ?????? said: >Hi, Rsync. > >I want to help rsink delete a folder with a large number of files and folders.
