Since they had no leader to guide them, they slowly fell into ruin. Though I vaguely remember reading about battles going on in The Fourth Age in Tolkien's work, Tolkien had written little in his work and letters about what happened to evil in the later ages. . So it's unsure what happened to evil after the War of the Ring. He does state that all the followers of Melkor dissappear into the Void upon their death. In Hobbit tolkien theorizes that some of the mosre devastating weapons in modern war may have originally have been invented by goblins, that suggests they survive in some form into the present day although hiding.
