I think you misunderstood my comment: you only add --delete after you have snapshots working properly. Then the files only disappear from the latest backup, but they are still present in all previous snapshots.

If you set this up correctly - and you understand what it is doing, which is always important - then it is a good system with no risk for data loss.
