Via a battle of wills. It will keep coming back until you weaken it enough that it’ll die. This means repeatedly cutting it back to the ground as frequently as you can.
Weedkiller might help, but you run the risk of killing other plants if you do.

Roundup Bindweed gel. Used every day. For months.

As others have said, pull on sight.
Chemicals should be last resort.

Dig out the roots when you find it. If you can’t get at the roots then get as much as you can. Look under slabs etc. It wonders around on the surface under them.
Oh the satisfaction of finding a root motherload. Pretty sure I dug 30 foot of root out earlier in the spring. And it’s still coming back.
To make my life easier I’ve dug out 2 bamboo balls earlier this week for a new veg patch. Apparently it can take up to 3 years to get rid of it completely. Oh joy.
This is new veg patch though. It now has boards around it, a netting frame nearly complete and a net on the way.
Other than onions what can I plant so late?
