Oracle Wallet, do we need the Client installed after setup

Sorry if the category isn't correct, I wasn't sure what to choose.

I have a web application that I am migrating from the outdated Microsoft OracleClient library, to ODP.Net 4.122.19.1 and have a question regarding the Windows server configuration. I will be using the managed driver that will be deployed with the application to each server where the web application resides on.

Question.) Since I will be using the managed ODP driver, it would be ideal to uninstall the Oracle client on each Windows server. From my research, it sounds like the Oracle client is needed to initially create the wallet, but once created, I could uninstall the client. Is this correct? If it is not correct, is there a smaller tool that I could install instead of the client to maintain connectivity?

Howdy, Stranger!
