You can do it by workflow console:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/faces/jsp/admin/workflow-console.jsp

Command:
"
    undeploy definition <workflowDefId>

    Undeploy the latest version of the workflow definition identified by
    <workflowDefId>. This will also terminate and remove all "in-flight" workflows associated with the definition.

    If multiple versions of the definition exist, you will have to undeploy
    each in turn to remove the definition completely.
"
In this way you can remove a version or all versions permanently.

Not quite, next time you restart the Alfresco (Apache/TOmcat) server the workflow will be deployed again.
The only thing you can do to get rid of them always is by removing the deploy statements from the beans in the Alfresco installation. But if the Alfresco.war file is getting deployed again on start up this action will be reverted anyway. Please look into the WIKI for Workflow on where the beans are located and what you may do to override the loading of the default workflows.
Hope this helps, Rob
