rsync: delete except on one folder

rsync verify a file already exists in dest folder so it will skip the copy on the 1st syncHelp with rsync excludes not workingHow do I make rsync delete files that have been deleted from the source folder?rsync back up of entire root system not working using --exclude?rsync without deleting between 2 foldersWhy is rsync copying directory structure when my find result only shows me files?a question about my rsync scriptrsync --delete option not deleting in destination if deleted in sourcersync doesn't sync changesexcluding hidden files only in a particular directory

I have a tree that is like this: /home/me/A/secret/. I'd like to sync (recursively) the folder /home/me/A/ (including the subfolder secret), in the folder /opt of the destination. Moreover, I also would like to delete the files that are in the source but not in the destination, except if the files belong to the secret folder.

Indeed, the secret folder won't be always present on the machine, and I don't want to remove the secret folder on the remote server when it's the case.

What I tried: the option --delete deletes everything, so I tried --delete --exclude secret/, but the problem is that it won't even sync the content of secret/. Then, --filter "protect ..." requires a file with all the files that I want to protect, which is really not practical.

So for now the best option I found is to run two instances of rsync: one with --exclude secret/ --delete to deal with everything except the secret folder, and then I run another rsync to sync directly the subfolder secret to the good position.

Is there a one-command way to do that?

Thanks!
