of course I will shut off the breaker, why do you even have to mention this?

Go to favorite electric supply store to wiremold surface raceway, find lowest profile box they have and put your wire end in that under the cabinet. Available for next light.

you likely won't want the outlet, so use a flat cover plate

Hey, man, when you're talking about electrical work, there's no such thing as "stating the obvious." If you knew to do it, then good for you.

Someone else might read it, and not know.

if they are able to READ and are about to do ELECTRICAL WORK and so far didn't learn about shutting breaker off when doing electrical work, then they are good candidates for the Dawrin award.

Space,

My wife and I faced a similar situation in our new apartment. We found a live wire behind the refrigerator. It wasn't connected to anything and just had some electrical tape on the end. Our electrician suggested leaving it active but just "capping" or some other designation properly and to code. That way, it would be safe to leave in place but available in the event we ever wanted to use it for something in the future. Seemed like good advice to us, so we followed it.
