dit(bf(--ignore-errors)) Tells bf(--delete) to go ahead and delete files
even when there are I/O errors.
dit(bf(--force)) This option tells rsync to delete directories even if
they are not empty when they are to be replaced by non-directories. This
is only relevant without bf(--delete) because deletions are now done depth-first.
Requires the bf(--recursive) option (which is implied by bf(-a)) to have any effect.
dit(bf(--force)) This option tells rsync to delete a non-empty directory
when it is to be replaced by a non-directory. This is only relevant if
deletions are not active (see bf(--delete) for details).
Note for older rsync versions: bf(--force) used to still be required when
using bf(--delete-after), and it used to be non-functional unless the
bf(--recursive) option was also enabled.
dit(bf(--max-delete=NUM)) This tells rsync not to delete more than NUM
files or directories (NUM must be non-zero).
