   You tell rsync to trasfer any directory starting with either A or B over   
   to /run/media/Philo/Videos-A-B (I assume you did a previous cd to get   
   you into the directory which contains A* or B*).   
   Then you ask why it did not erase run/media/Philo/Videos-A-B/Z   
   But that was not part of what you asked it to transfer. It transfered   
   stuff from A* or B*, and to erase the files from   
   /run/media/Philo/Videos-A-B/A* or /run/media/Philo/Videos-A-B/B* that   
   were no longer in the sources.
