I have a recipe using the remote_directory resource to place a directory and

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.
