I think you must choose it by the stereotype on your BBEG, so you can build the drama over it.
It's a public figure that has a important role on politics: public shame. It's a monstruous creature that has no redemption: banishment. It's somone who become that evil guy due to a trauma or something like that: persuasion. It's someone with a honor code: push it against it until it redemns. You can mish-mash this if you want to make a fun story: embarass a abyss true evil creature to the publics of the word so much that it becomes a planar hermit to hide its shame.
You can end it by put it on jail, trap it into another dimention, give it to its archenemy's fate. Anything that stop its evil actions, but that relies on the way it act and its porpouse.
Some I have used: a criminal mind that endup locked in jail. A trapped god that the party endup befriend and freeing it. A bureaucrat that endup betraid by its own servants and lose its status. A dragon that endup by making a deal with the party.

I am tired of seeing BBEGs and evil guys getting ended by combat. What are some cool ways where your BBEG was ended not in combat?
Perhaps it was public shame, banishment, persuasion, literally any other way then killing?
