What happened to all the Droid army's after the clone wars?
I've always wonder what happened to the droid army's after the clone wars.

In Star Wars battlefront 2. Part of the storyline, as the empire, is crushing a droid rebellion led by a former CIS General.

newellbrian already gave the main answer, they were shut down by orders of Palpatine and generally left to rot.
The longer answer is that some of them were found, stolen, or bought and went on to a different owners. Tyber Zahn used the Droideka Mk II in his armies, some of them were used by former CIS generals/leaders against the empire in failed rebellions, and still others were bought and put to use by criminal leaders.
I read somewhere (a quick search didnt help me find any hard proof) that the Empire put a ban on combat droids after the fall of the CIS meaning we can assume most either fell to ruin or were eventually destroyed by the Empire.

I imagine members of the 501st had no qualms dismantling droids when they came across them.

One of the missions from Rebel Strike on GameCube involved Rogue Squadron crashing on Geonosis and having to fight a mix of imperial forces and old battle droids. It's been quite a few years since I've played that, and I'm not sure if that game was ever considered canon.

They were shut off. Palpatine ordered them to be shut off in Revenge Of The Sith.
