Once the tools are assembled, follow these steps:
Locate the starting point: Identify where the edging strip meets the wall at the corner or end.
Insert the pry bar: Carefully insert the pry bar or flat-head screwdriver between the edging strip and the wall. Avoid prying directly against the wall surface.
Lever gently: Apply gentle pressure to the pry bar to pry the edging strip away from the wall. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage.
Continue prying: Work your way along the length of the edging strip, prying gently and releasing the strip from the wall.
Use a hammer or mallet: For stubborn areas, tap the pry bar or flat-head screwdriver with a hammer or mallet to help loosen the strip.
Remove the nails or screws: Once the edging strip is detached from the wall, remove any nails or screws holding it in place.
Repair any damage: Inspect the wall surface for any damage caused by prying. Use putty knife or spackle to fill in any holes or dents.
Caulk the edges: Apply caulk along the edges where the edging strip was removed to seal any gaps and prevent moisture infiltration.

Tips for removing wall-mounted edging strips:
Use a sharp pry bar or flat-head screwdriver to avoid damaging the edging strip or wall.
Apply minimal pressure and work slowly to prevent breakage.
If the edging strip is particularly stubborn, apply heat using a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the adhesive.
Wear safety glasses and gloves when working with sharp tools.

By following these steps and adhering to the safety precautions, you can effectively remove wall-mounted edging strips and restore the appearance of your walls.
