Reply to comment by allangee in Electrical outlets, can I cap off temporarily? by JSOCoperatorD

Out of personal curiosity, what do you do if you wanted to remove the plug and put cabinets over it?

You can't remove the wire without taking down all the drywall. I assume there is a proper way to do it without having to demo a bunch of wall.

As long as the wires are properly capped and in a junction box of some sort, with access, you're good. Ac over like below -- but they also come in plastic.

​

The other option is to disconnect the wire at the other end -- assuming that connection box is accessible. That way you have a dead wire (nothing connected at either end) in the walls, which is no problem.
