1. Log in to Alfresco Explorer as an Administrator
2. Go to the workflow console.
3. Type "show definitions all" and click submit. You should see something like:

id: activiti$activitiAdhoc:1:4 , name: activiti$activitiAdhoc , title: Adhoc Workflow , version: 1
id: activiti$activitiInvitationModerated:1:23 , name: activiti$activitiInvitationModerated , title: Invitation - Moderated , version: 1
id: activiti$activitiInvitationNominated:1:26 , name: activiti$activitiInvitationNominated , title: Site Invitation - Nominated , version: 1
id: activiti$activitiParallelGroupReview:1:20 , name: activiti$activitiParallelGroupReview , title: Group Review And Approve , version: 1
id: activiti$activitiParallelReview:1:16 , name: activiti$activitiParallelReview , title: Parallel Review And Approve , version: 1
id: activiti$activitiReview:1:8 , name: activiti$activitiReview , title: Review And Approve , version: 1
id: activiti$activitiReviewPooled:1:12 , name: activiti$activitiReviewPooled , title: Pooled Review And Approve , version: 1
id: activiti$publishWebContent:1:29 , name: activiti$publishWebContent , title: Publish Web Content Activiti Process , version: 1‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

4. For each name in the list, type "undeploy definition name [NAME]" where "[NAME]" is one of the names in the list, like "activiti$activitiAdhoc".

If you use the workflow console, it will undeploy. However, if you restart alfresco, it will then add them back.

You have to modify the bootstrap-context.xml in alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco to remove them for good.

Look for the workflowBootstrap bean, comment out the workflows that you don't want and restart alfresco.

    <bean id="workflowBootstrap" parent="workflowDeployer">
        <property name="workflowDefinitions">
            <list>
….

I've got a dim memory of adding spring configuration so you can hide some workflow names from the UI.   So you can still have them defined and working,  but not start them from explorer.

That could be another approach.
