No, all the --delete* options delete files from the receiver if their
counterparts on the sender have disappeared.  Maybe you're confusing
them with --remove-sent-files, which does delete transferred regular
files and symlinks from the sender.  In fact, I think
--remove-sent-files is the only option that causes rsync to modify the
sender in any way.
