xCSxXenon,
You were right, it was my filter. I was trying to only copy *.xyz files, so empty folders were excluded from being deleted when I deleted all the files, even if the folder had been deleted on the source. The problem is that there are other types of files in those folders. So, I'm now ...

OK,
I did some testing and with the long exclusion list, it's mostly working. However, I have some jpg files I want to copy and some I don't. So, I added the specific jpg file name to the include list and excluded *.jpg in the exclusion list, but the specific entry in the include list doesn't ...

Plerry,

If I delete a folder and its files, the files are deleted in the target ...

Just a quick follow up.

I understand the *\Folder.jpg, but then why does just *.mp3 get files from the subfolders instead of having to use *\*.mp3?

Thanks Plerry. I just wasn't thinking. I do as you suggest in the Exclude list, so I don't know why I didn't do it in the Include list.

As far as the name of the file, it's a Microsoft name. It's created by Microsoft's Media Player on Windows.

I'm trying to copy *.mp3 and Folder.jpg files. I can set Include to *.mp3 and I get just the mp3 files. However, if I set include to

*.mp3
Folder.jpg

The Folder.jpg files don't show up. I'm not sure about the mp3 files, since they've already been copied and are up to date (i.e. I'm trying to add ...
