You didn't ask rsync to send a directory, so it can't do any deletions.
You
should instead use filter rules to include what you want to send from a
particular directory and hide everything else (or use an exclude combined
with --delete-excluded):
rsync -aiv --del - at 1 -f'+ /file1' -f'+ /file2' -f'+
/file3' -f'H *' ./
/mnt/pendrive/rodolfo
You could also combine all the filter rules into a single file and tell
rsync to read that instead of specifying them all on the command-line.
