Just to state it for the record, you can't remove the file from the
upgraded MSI (well the component guid really) because of patching rules.
One approach you can use in the upgraded MSI file is to change the
component attributes for the files. Add the transitive condition to the
component/file and set the condition to be 0. See the
msidbComponentAttributesTransitive documentation.

Subject: [WiX-users] Remove orphaned file during patch
I need to remove some files that's no longer required in new release. As
it seems using the patch generated by patchcreation will not do anything
on these kind of files (correct me if I am wrong on this), so I was
trying to add a removefile table to the resultant pcp file. The problem
is how's the way to do this in WiX source? Or this is not the right way
to do it?
