I have experienced this issue in the past. According to this release doc, version numbers of the flow are omitted in API 44.0+. However when you try to do a destructive change deployment to delete a version of the flow using API 44.0 or higher it lets you delete ONLY if the version number is appended to the flow name.

For example -- If your destructive changes look like below, with hyphenated version number, it will be deleted

<types>

  <members>FlowName-4</members>

  <name>Flow</name>

 </types>

The Salesforce product team has confirmed this as expected behavior. The documentation says “To deploy or retrieve a version, you can specify the version number. For example, sample flow-3 specifies version 3 of the flow whose unique name is sample flow. If you don’t specify a version number, the flow is the latest version.”
