Is there a way to mass delete inactive workflow rules

I am working on cleaning up our Org and we have a ton of inactive workflow rules that need deleting.

You will need to retrieve the metadata files (xml) of your workflow rules to get their names and then after, you have to deploy destructive changes.

The easiest tool for that is the workbench.
