rsync doesn't delete files in destination directory
ubuntu;rsync
The problem with the command, is that it includes * in hotspots_test/*The command rsync --delete doesn't work with wildcard entriesrsync man--deleteThis tells rsync to delete extraneous files from the receiving side  (ones that aren't on the sending side), but only for the directories  that are being synchronized. You must have asked rsync to send the  whole directory (e.g. lqdirrq or lqdir/rq) without using a wildcard  for the directory's contents (e.g. lqdir/*rq) since the wildcard is  expanded by the shell and rsync thus gets a request to transfer  individual files, not the files' parent directory. Files that are  excluded from the transfer are also excluded from being deleted unless  you use the --delete-excluded option or mark the rules as only  matching on the sending side (see the include/exclude modifiers in the  FILTER RULES section).
