Sauron was not totally destroyed even after the Ring was melted. Only Iluvatar can actually "destroy" a soul. He was so severly crippled that he could not take shape again, and became nothing more than a small shadow of malice.

In the War of the Last Alliance he forsook his body after the Ring was cut off. That was more of an act of will because Sauron had been defeated and there was nothing that he could gain by remaining in that body. This was not the first time that had happened to him.
