Cannot delete an interface, why?

I have an EX4500 with an interface with nothing plugged into it. I go into J-web, delete out this section, and click commit

xe-0/0/1 {
   description "vSphere15 Management";
   mtu 9216;
   unit 0 {
      family ethernet-switching {
         port-mode access;
         vlan {
            members Hosts;
         }
      }
   }
}

I then get this error message

There were error(s) delivering the configuration.

Error(s):
'interface'

1) XSTP : Interface xe-0/0/1.0 is not enabled for Ethernet Switching
2) XSTP : Interface xe-0/0/1.0 is not enabled for Ethernet Switching
3) configuration check-out failed

Why can't I delete this interface?
