Quite a few. Most were scuttled in Operation Deadlight, but not all.
A number also served in foreign navies. For example, U-123, made famous by Reinhard Hardegen, survived the war and became the French submarine "Blaison", and wasn't decommissioned and broken up until the early 1960's.
The Soviets also kept a number.
