    Rewiring at breaker box
    Hello,

    I am rewiring my house as part of a kitchen remodel. The wiring in my house in flexible conduit with multiple lines in the same conduit. I am using one of the lines in the conduit but not the other. Can I leave the wiring I will not be using in the conduit and disconnect the line at the breaker, cap, and leave them? I would like to remove it totally, but due to several other issues it isn't possible. Thanks for the help.

    Leaving the wires and capping them with electrical tape or wirenuts is fine, and may help in the future as spares if needed.
