Rsync – Two-Way Sync and Syncing File-Deletion Operations with Rsync

rsyncsync

I use rsync in the following manner:

rsync -Pvaz me@192.168.*.***:Documents/ /Users/me/Documents/
rsync -Pvaz /Users/me/Documents/ me@192.168.*.***:Documents/

The problem: if I delete a file on my home computer and sync, it doesn't get deleted on the remote computer. Is there a way to use rsync to literally sync two folders?

Man page for rsync:

 --delete                delete extraneous files from dest dirs
 --delete-before         receiver deletes before transfer (default)
 --delete-during         receiver deletes during xfer, not before
 --delete-delay          find deletions during, delete after
 --delete-after          receiver deletes after transfer, not before
 --delete-excluded       also delete excluded files from dest dirs
