When I open Logic, I get Apogee FX Rack windows (5) that open asking for Activation of plugins I don't have. They were never installed, and now I don't use Apogee anymore. I deleted all Apogee files I could find. What am I missing?

Sounds like the Apogee FX Rack Component is perhaps the issue (the plugin that hosts the individual Apogee plugins). Have you deleted this? (Library > Audio > Plugins > Components > Apogee FX Rack Component).
Failing that, I'd contact Apogee support on this one... they'll know where any other hidden files may reside!
If you get the activation splash screens then they were/are installed. From memory there was a full uninstaller from Apogee. Not sure it is still supported. I think it would be better to get Apogee support.
Be sure you looked in both the System and User libraries for remaining AUs.

Thanks for the quick response. I've run the Element uninstaller through restart, the Activation windows are still coming up on Logic open. The weird thing is that I never bought those plugins. They are paid plugins and Apogee prompted me to buy them but I didn't. For some reason the window asking me to Activate them (buy and register them) keeps coming up. I will try the Apogee forum.
Check your Plugin Manager (Logic X menu > Preferences > Plugin Manager)... if there's any Apogee plugins listed, uncheck them - this should get rid of the prompts when re-starting Logic. If there are any Apogee plugins listed... they must have been installed at some stage, (either as demos, or part of a hardware install). If you really don't want them on your system, use Spotlight to find all traces & trash them!
The plugins were already unchecked in Plugin Manager (I did this as a first step). A Spotlight search for either the individual plugins or Apogee generally shows nothing. I did a Finder search as well, nothing found. The problem persists. The mystery deepens.
Brilliant!! That did it. Thank you so much. I thought I had covered that option but I was wrong. I appreciate all the support, but this latest answer did it.
