you need the --delete option in there, there are multiple delete options too

            --del                   an alias for --delete-during

            --delete                delete extraneous files from dest dirs

            --delete-before         receiver deletes before xfer, not during

            --delete-during         receiver deletes during the transfer

            --delete-delay          find deletions during, delete after

            --delete-after          receiver deletes after transfer, not during

            --delete-excluded       also delete excluded files from dest dirs
