Actually, the remove_action code is correct. But you should avoid modifying core Buddypress files if and when possible to prevent having to do everything over again when you upgrade. The code should be added to the functions.php file of a BP child-theme.

To learn how to make your own child-theme, see the codex here: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
