You probably want to use
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/lookup/fileglob.html?highlight=with_fileglob
So without testing it, it would look something like (run in 'test mode'
(-C) first!):
- hosts: all
tasks:
- name: remove web dir contents
file:
path: "{{ item }}"
state: absent
with_fileglob:
- "/tmp/xyz/*"
lookup plugins only work on Ansible controller aka localhost, not on
remote hosts.

Just recreate the directory in the next task, it that is not an option
just use commad or shell module and run a command to do it.
