I never actually got the time to test this, but below is a response from a
similar question :
>All,

>I want to delete files from a local directory that no longer exist in

>c:/localdir
> file1.txt
> file2.txt
> file3.txt
>
>c:/otherdir
> file1.txt
> file3.txt
>
>In this case, I would want to delete file2.txt from c:/localdir. Does

Yes, if I understood your problem correctly.
<target name="mirror">
<copy todir="C:\temp\test2">
<fileset dir="C:\temp\test1"/>
</copy>
<delete file="C:\temp\test2\xmi2dbo.xsl"/>
<echo>
*** TEST1 ***
</echo>
<exec executable="cmd">
<arg line="/c dir C:\temp\test1"/>
</exec>
<echo>
*** TEST2 ***
</echo>
<exec executable="cmd">
<arg line="/c dir C:\temp\test2"/>
</exec>
<echo>
*** Files in test1 and not in test2 ***
</echo>
<apply executable="cmd" dest="C:\temp\test2">
<arg value="/c"/>
<arg value="echo"/>
<srcfile/>
<fileset dir="C:\temp\test1"/>
<mapper type="identity"/>
</apply>
</target>
results in:
mirror:
