When you have a text on a path, is there a way to remove it from the path, without having to copy/paste or to rewrite it?

I know this is an old thread, but I was having the same problem today and wanted to post how I did it for future reference.

I had to select each of the anchor points on the path with the direct selection tool, then copy and paste and you have the path only.

You don't have to select every single anchor point. Just select the path with the group selection tool (works best when you click on an anchpr point)

A simple way is to DirectSelect the path (without selecting the Type) and copying it (thus creating a separate path), then deleting the Type on Path object.
