On a practical level, I'd disconnect that wire from the double breaker. That
way, it won't power the wire if someone turns on the breaker.

I had my old hot tub removed.

Now there is an unused 240v power coming out of the garage wall in a
conduit, down a few feet to the ground, then run along the edge of the house
about 15 feet, and end with a cable sticking out the conduit, temporarily
wrapped with electrical tapes.

The power is turned off at the breaker panel, of course.

What is the least amount of work to make this code compliant? Can I cut off
the cable flush with the conduit exit, and then put a conduit cap on it? Do
I have to put something at the end of the cut cables to cover the exposed
copper wires?

I've heard of people suggesting wireing nutting the hot to the neutral
at teh far end so that the breaker will trip if it's ever turned on.
I've even heard that Mike Holmes suggested this (not verified).

I think it's a pretty dumb suggestion.

Pulling the cable from the panel and cutting it up high seems like the
best idea.
