Yes, your wife should not need to file a Virginia state return if she didn't have any other VA income (side job, etc). Only her State of Legal Residence has the right to tax her military income but California won't tax her military income while stationed outside California.

If your wife didn't have any other Virginia income then she can delete her VA state return.
Please see What is my military state of residence? and Civilian pay earned by active duty military for additional information.
