rsync verify and delete

Question

I would like to be able to transfer files from a camera memory card to my local storage, and once copied, verify that the files match between source and destination and then delete the files on the source.

Currently I am running:

rsync --update -va --progress --no-r --info=progress2 source/** destination

I am flattening the destination so only files get copied and not source directories.

What would I need to add to this command to then cleanup all files and directories from the source as long as the transfer is verified?

Answer 1

--remove-source-files

I googled "rsync delete from source" and found this: rsync delete files on sending side after transfer - Stack Overflow. And here's part of the description from man rsync:

--remove-source-files
       This tells rsync to remove from the sending side the files 
       (meaning non-directories) that are a part of the transfer and
       have been successfully duplicated on the receiving side.

Answer 2

I managed to get it to work in the end with the following:

rsync --update -va --progress --no-r --remove-source-files --info=progress2 source/** destination &&
    find source -depth -type d -empty -delete

This will use rsync to clear the synced files and then another command to clear the empty directories of the source.
