## Deletion Support
To keep two directories truly in sync when deploying with `rsync`,
it's necessary to explicitly tell `rsync` to remove files or directories
on target that don't exist on source anymore. This can be done using the
`?delete` URL parameter:
```ini
[servers.production]
target = rsync://server/path/to/folder?delete
```
If the parameter is provided Lektor will issue a `rsync --delete-delay`,
which performs deletions after all other transfers ended, and only in case
there were no failures.
!!!! Note that the `?delete` option will remove **any file or directory**
on target that does not exist on source. This means that if you have files
in the target tree that are not managed by lektor, they will get removed.
## Exclusion Support
You can exclude items from being synced by using one or more `exclude`
parameters. This is also useful in combination with `delete` to prevent
removal of files in the target tree that are not managed by lektor:
```ini
[servers.production]
target = rsync://server/path/to/folder?delete&exclude=target_item_1&exclude=target_item_2
```
