One of the easiest ways to clean leftover wax from a candle vessel is to pop it into the freezer for several hours. The wax should easily pop out of the container. If it doesn't, you can use a butter knife, spoon, or bamboo skewer to gently detach the wax from the edge of the container.
Another trick is to pour boiling water into your container. The water will help melt the wax, which should float to the top. Once the water cools, you can remove the wax. Do not discard the used water down your drain, as any wax in it could clog your drain.
Once your jar is empty, carefully scrape away any wax that remains stuck to the container walls and then clean it with soap and water. Your container is now ready to receive a candle refill or upcycled to store something new.

If too much wick remains, use a candle wick trimmer or a pair of straight nail clippers to trim the wick to its proper length.
