Hi LinThaw,

You need to create “destructiveChanges.xml” file also. Syntax for this file is exactly same as of “package.xml”, except that here we cannot define wildcards. So, to undeploy anything from Salesforce org, we need two xml files – “package.xml” and “destructiveChanges.xml“.

Refer the below link.
