   A little thing with rsync

   I use it all the time.  Just noticed this.   
   Here's a snippet of a bash script.   
      
   #   
   # Check for avi files A-B and back them up if the appropriate USB   
   # is inserted.   
   #   
   ls /run/media/Philo/Videos-A-B 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null   
   if [ "$?" -eq "0" ] ;   
       then   
            rsync -aprv --delete [A-B]* /run/media/Philo/Videos-A-B   
   fi   
   #   
      
   It works, copies new/changed files over, just in the directories A and B, and   
   deletes files in those two directories that have gone away.  Just like it   
   should.   
      
   But, tonight I noticed that the directory /run/media/Philo/Videos-A-B/Z and all   
   it's files was still there.  I was expecting it to be deleted.   
      
   I suppose I could add some stuff like   
   rm -rf [C-Z]* 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null   
   and do the splits for things later in the alphabet, like to handle just [O-S].
