Testing Process:

To test LOCALE_CODE/blog repo files are not deleted on WWW, this MR was created using the same GCP_BUCKET as our Blog MR, and a blog path exception was added to ignore everything matching blog files with: -x '^.*blog[/\\]'.

After testing the scenarios below -d literal is removed and replaced back with the $delete_flag variable.
