N2000 "delete Hiveagent before proceeding with upgrade to 6.7.1.17"

Hello,

This may have been asked before by others, but I've been unable to find a clear answer.  If we don't use hiveagent and current status is (copied below) disabled/rejected, do we still need to go through the commands to stop app/delete the files?  Thanks in advance!

#show hiveagent status

HiveAgent: Disabled
EULA: Not Accepted

HiveManager Server Name: HiveManagerNG
HiveManager NG (enabled):

#show eula-consent hiveagent

HiveAgent EULA has been: Rejected

 

In the upgrade guide verbiage below it says these commands must be performed prior to upgrade:

NOTE: Hiveagent is not supported starting from feature release 6.7.0.4/6.7.0.34 onwards. Please
delete hiveagent using below mentioned procedure before proceeding with upgrade to 6.7.1.17.
console#application stop hiveagent
console#delete user-apps/ah_ha.conf_s
Delete user-apps/ah_ha.conf_s ? (y/n) y
console#delete user-apps/hiveagent_pr_s
