It is, if there aren't "orphaned" products left behind.

First step: what does the verbose log from the upgrade say?

Subject: [WiX-users] Upgrade msi with removed components

Hello wix users,
a quick question!
If i create my msi with a major version upgrade (assume i'm doing 
everything correctly, i.e change ProductCode, PackageCode, leave 
Upgradecode intact, change version number,
add

<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize"/>

in InstallExecuteSequence),
and leave the Component Guids the same, and only remove one Component 
with a file Foo.txt,
isn't it supposed to be removed from the install location? or does it 
stay orphaned?

Regards,
Stelios
