Default What to do with unused wires/harnesses

Just curious what everyone does with unused wires and connectors once something is removed for weight reduction. I have taken out some stuff but I still have the wires dangling. Should I just follow them back and snip them? Thanks for any ideas. Going back to stock isn't a worry of mine. I've gotten rid of pretty much everything anyhow.

alot of guys will strip the harness of unused stuff to simplify things.

i didn't do that. just taped the ends to keep stuff out of them and found places to secure them out of the way and hidden.

On a couple cars Ive split the loom ran for example the EGR canister plug back into the harness under the cowl, into the 1 1/4 or so diamter convoluted tubing and taped the harnes back together. Its there if ever need be, but youll never see it and it doesnt get in the way

I completely reworked my stock harness to relocate the front O2 plugs to the rear for Long tubes and removed the following wires:
rear O2's
AIR
EGR
EVAP
AC

Cleans up the engine bay very nicely.
