How to check if I copied all the files/folders into the destination?

so I cloned a folder into another disk (freshly formatted as ext4) and it completed successfully.

Code: 
rsync -aiv --delete source-folder destination-folder

My issue is that if I ran the command above but with --dry-run as an additional parameter, I expect that no files/folders will show up. But all the files and folders shows up again.

These are the commands I've tried to check if there more files/folders that needs to be copied
Code: 
rsync -ainv --delete source-folder destination-folder
rsync -Drn --delete source-folder destination-folder
rsync -rn --delete source-folder destination-folder

The source-folder doesn't contain links. It only contained photos organized in folders.

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? I just want to check that all the files/folders were copied.

I'm running rsync 3.1.1 and Ubuntu 16.04.

Thanks!

ps. this is not a desktop machine as such there's no "X"

Is is just me or is this text all black and therefore really difficult to read? Especially when your eyes suck in the first place! ;)
 
I couldn't read the code either, but I changed to the Lite forum theme and is much better.
 
It would help to see the contents of the source folder, the output from when you run the command, and the contents of the destination folder. Sounds like possibly permissions. Not possible to know without more info.

Edit: I'm switching back to dark theme now ;)
 
If everything wasn't copied over rsync would inform you at the end of the process. In fact if there is an issue syncing a file during the process you will be informed in real time.
