You saw off the ABS pipe as close to the wall as possible. Use a plastic test cap to seal the open end. If you wish to hide the pipe entirely then after you cut the pipe off next to the wall take a set of inside cutters and make your cut just inside the dry wall. You may use a test or a hardcap to seal it. You can then patch the hole. Good luck, Tom

Floor or wall, all the same treatment. Good luck, Tom
