Remove navigation bar but keep the frame numbering

Question

I don't like the navigation bar to be display so I add \beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty to remove it, but it also remove the page numbering too. This is how I add the page numbering to the navigation bar.

\addtobeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}{%
    \usebeamerfont{footline}%
    \usebeamercolor[fg]{footline}%
    \hspace{1em}%
    \insertframenumber/\inserttotalframenumber
}
\setbeamercolor{footline}{fg=black}
\setbeamerfont{footline}{series=\bfseries}

Is there a way to remove the navigation bar but keep the frame numbering?

Thanks
