Cleanly Removing Apex from DB

Hi, hope you can help on a rather odd problem.

I’m trialling an upgrade from 12.2.0.1 to 19c on a non-CDB. The database has Apex installed (5.0.4.00.12), but does not have any applications installed….discovered this by running….

select count(*) from apex_applications

where workspace_display_name not in ('INTERNAL','COM.ORACLE.CUST.REPOSITORY')

…which returned 0.

On other databases where this is the case, I’ve removed Apex for two reasons. Why keep something in there that isn’t being used, and I have also seen on previous database upgrades, the upgrade process itself enforces an Apex upgrade, extending the time taken. Think I’ve read in the latest upgrade that it will no longer do that, but again, why keep something there if it is not being used.

Howdy, Stranger!
