In the book Dracula, it would seem that decapitation should accompany staking, in order to utterly destroy a vampire. Here is Dracula's end, when Jonathan Harker and Quincey Morris manage to jump on the wagon carrying the box that Dracula is lying in. The sun is about to set, and they just make it in time:
"..But, on the instant, came the sweep and flash of Jonathan's great knife. I shrieked as I saw it shear through the throat; whilst at the same moment Mr. Morris' bowie knife plunged in the heart.
It was like a miracle; but before our very eyes, and almost in the drawing of a breath, the whole body crumbled into dust and passed from our sight."
In Bram Stoker's "Dracula," the solution to the threat posed by Count Dracula is a collaborative effort by a group of characters, including Jonathan Harker, Mina Harker, Dr. John Seward, and Professor Abraham Van Helsing. They track Dracula as he attempts to move to England and ultimately confront him at his castle in Transylvania. The group successfully destroys Dracula by driving a wooden stake through his heart, which restores peace and safety to Mina and the others. This act symbolizes the triumph of good over evil through unity and determination.
In the novel, Dracula was killed when he was tracked by Van Helsing and his troupe and stabbed in the heart with Arthur Holmwood's bowie knife in his final box of earth. His head was then chopped off cleanly with a knife, ridding Dracula's soul of the earth forevermore.
Just before sundown Dracula is "sheared through the throat" and stabbed in the heart with a bowie knife. Whether shearing through the throat means his throat was cut or that he was decapitated is unclear.
This is the most popular method: First you have to drive a stake through his heart. Then he has to be beheaded. After all, his mouth has to be filled with garlic. Sunlight is not useful in this case: Count Dracula can go through the streets of London by day (he does so in the book).
Count Dracula was eventually tracked down by all of the gang and was killed by Quincey Morris and Jonathan Harker. Quincey drove a stake though his heart, while Jonathan cut off Dracula's head simultaneously.
A wooden stake through the heart was the favoured method.
he gave it to Satan as payment for his immortality Count Dracula did have a heart but then Dr. Van Helsing drove a wooden stake through it and kind-of messed it all up.
In the book Dracula they cut his throat and and impale his heart with a wooden stake. Dracula then crumbles into dust. There are number of variations on this in the movies.In the book they don't kill him. They were going to, but they changed it. They were going to make the castle fall, killing him, but Dracula lives .... at least that's what i heard.

Dracula was destroyed at the conclusion of his novel in the battle outside his castle just as the sun was setting. Despite the popular image of Dracula having a stake driven through his heart, Mina's narrative describes his throat being sliced through by Jonathan Harker's kukri and his heart pierced by Morris' Bowie knife (Mina Harker's Journal, 6 November, Dracula Chapter 27). He then turns to dust.
