Files not deleted from remote server when deleted in repo

Describe the bug The workflow does not delete files/folders from the server when they're deleted in the repo. This has caused builds to fail when a folder containing PHP classes was replaced with a renamed folder in the repo, with the error "PHP Fatal error: Cannot declare class..." as it detected duplicate classes, despite the fact that in the repo the classes were actually unique. To fix the issue, we had to SFTP into the server and manually delete the old files. This should not be necessary.

To reproduce

1. Add new file, commit and push to remote.
2. Delete that file, commit and push to remote.

The file will be deleted from the repo but not from the server.

deploy workflow for reference:

name: Develop

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - develop

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v4
    - run: |
          git fetch --prune --unshallow

    - name: GitHub Action for WP Engine Git Deployment
      uses: wpengine/github-action-wpe-site-deploy@v3
      env:
        WPE_ENV: '<dev-install>'
        WPE_SSHG_KEY_PRIVATE: ${{ secrets.WPENGINE_SSH_KEY_PRIVATE }}

Expected behavior

Files deleted from the repo should be deleted from the server as well.
