To remove the default Wishlist and Compare Products blocks on a category page with layered navigation, the developer should place the modification in the app/design/frontend/Vendor/Theme/Magento_LayeredNavigation/layout/catalog_category_view_type_layered.xml file. This file is specific to the category pages with layered navigation and will override the default layout file from the Magento_LayeredNavigation module. The modification should use the tag with the name attribute specifying the name of the block and the remove attribute set to true. For example:

The app/design/frontend/Vendor/Theme/Magento_LayeredNavigation/layout/override/catalog_category_view_type_layered.xml file is not valid and will not work, as it is not a valid override path. The app/design/frontend/Vendor/Theme/Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_category_view.xml file is not specific to the category pages with layered navigation and will affect all category pages.
