No single answer.But there are a number of pertinent factors.1. Artifacts are not easy to destroy. 2. Artifacts cannot be used by everyone.3. Many artifacts are booby-trapped.Therefore if you were to slay an evil deity on their home plane and all that remained were their artifacts, you might not be able to touch them without setting of some curse/detrimental effect. You might not be able to destroy them either. Chances are you would not be able to utilise them if you were of a differeing alignment.What you could do is:- Give them to subordinates (assuming they were of simlar alignment).- Hide them or lock them away somewhere.- Find some method of destroying them and/or absorbing their quintessence.I think this might seem as though there should be hundreds of artifacts just laying about everywhere. But remember gods are not killed that often (unless your DM is playing them badly that is). <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
