The rule for removing cards in on the Adventure Path Card. It starts with deck 3 and applies to all banes and optionally to all boons.
After you begin The Hook Mountain Massacre, whenever you banish a bane with the Basic trait, remove it from the game; whenever you you banish a boon with the Basic trait, you may remove it from the game. After you begin Sins of the Saviors, do the same for cards with the Elite trait.
Note that the removal from the game takes effect (mandatory for banes, optionaly for boons) only when a card is BANISHED, not when it is only RETURNED TO THE BOX. E. g. when you close a location after defeating an henchman, you BANISH remaining cards in the location, whether when you finaly defeat the villain (in a standard scenario) and thus win/end the scenario, remaining cards (for example in the location the villain was in) are just RETURNED TO THE BOX.

Almost right, you do close the location when you defeat a villain, so those cards are banished.

At the end of the game, cards in open locations are returned to the box. (I'm not disagreeing, I'm just giving an example.)

Not sure since as soon as the villain is defeated, the scenario ends. You don't get to close the location. I'm pretty sure for example, if the When Closing of the location says you can add boons and get to encounter one, you don't.
You don't actually win the scenario until you do the "When Permanently Closed" part of defeating the villain. Then you check to see that he or she has nowhere to go and then the scenario ends. So yes, you can get something from the General Store. You can even die if the location says to draw a card and you have an empty deck!
Hmm. I've always played it as the cards that are left over at the location from which you defeated the villain go back to the box, not banished. Thinking about it now, since we do have to perform the "When Permanently Closed" text, I think I should banish them instead.
I stand corrected.
