OK, so we have two versions - leave it till it dies back ( I can see the reasoning behind this) and if it pokes you in the eye then chop that sucker out of the way.
I guess I am more prone to chop it if there is nothing left (OK, here comes my big words that I just learned today) . If only the Scape and Bloom Scar are left, prior to me chopping it down I will look for Bract's to see if a Proliferation has started, if so one might be able to produce another plant from this.
(Sounds like I know what I am doing)
