Disconnecting old wiring is fine. It can be left in place. You don't need to

I just bought a new (old) house and I have a couple of questions. *Our
underqualified although state licensed (Wisconsin) *inspector missed
some extremely obvious Knob and Tube wiring which turns out to be half
the house so I'm rewiring most of the house. *The first question is:

Do I have to remove all of the dead knob and tube wiring?

The second question is:

I'm running armoured cable to the attic to replace the Knob and Tube
and the cable is running in an open cavity between two bedrooms. *Do I
have to open the wall and secure this every four feet?

Thanks,

I would remove ALL the exposed knob and tube, even though its
disconnected. Makes selling your home easier in the future/

if you can see it remove it!
