Best practice? Removing ~150 unused cables from 2x 6500s

I've cleaned up closet switches before, but never this many cables at once. It's not a complete rats nest of cables, but I don't have to salvage the cables if I don't want to, so it's likely I will be chopping off the switch side plug. Since I don't know where they are going on the patch panel I'll have to start from the switch and trace it over.

Is it better to do it one by one, blade by blade, or just unplug them all from the switch and work as much through at once to the patch so I can unplug from there.

Just looking to see what others have run into when cleaning up a large closet switch that still has a bunch of active ports.
