Technically no, practically kinda...
Deleting files only works when you are syncing a directory. If you
specify every file to copy then you aren't actually syncing anything
and there is nothing for --delete to do. So, --delete will only work
if your files-from file is a list of directories rather that files.
OTOH, you are probably actually looking for the --delete-missing-args
option which is a fairly new feature.
