Safest you say? Eat the caps! JK, dont. The safest way would probably be to take a screwdriver and short the caps to itself, then it would be safe

The capacitors in a properly designed PSU are drained empty with the use of bleed resistors in a matter of minutes. Even without resistors though, it will be empty after a month for sure due to internal resistance of the capacitor.
