I have a recipe using the remote_directory resource to place a directory and
its files into a destination directory. If I remove some of the source files
from the directory in my cookbook and re-run the chef client (solo in this
case), I had expected files that were removed from the cookbook to be removed
from the destination directory. This does not appear to be the case. Is there
a better way to handle this particular use case (basically something like rsync
with delete)?

Set the purge option to true.

Wow, and I actually checked the docs. Not sure how I missed that.
Thanks
