Is it ok to leave "dead" wires in the box?

The old power leg from the 2 gang receptable box to the switch box is now
dead. In the outlet box I unhooked the white/black and wire nutted them
together. In the switch box I cut back the bare ends and folded them to the
back of the box.


Best to put a wire nut on each dead wire.
