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. ur
underqualified although state licensed (Wisconsin) )nspector missed
some extremely obvious Knob and Tube wiring which turns out to be half
the house so I'm rewiring most of the house. he 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. o 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!

I agree. That stuff is scary for most of us.
