What is the regs on terminating unused cable or even cores of an SWA cable. I know sometimes we can’t remove the cable completely sometimes due to being impractical.
Most jobs I have done are newbuild , but the replacement jobs I have seen all cable is deenergised, made safe and removed, I cant think of any situation I have seen where you cannot remove the old cable other than through wall apertures and where the cables have been cable tied in bundles. Even big SWA that are buried get removed with special cable pullers if they can or dig it out.
I don't know I might not have seen the sort of thing you have encountered , I would say once deenergised make a clean end and wrap with tape and label as not in use ..
