Hi, the thing that worries me the most for a closet reno is the removal of the old closet shelves. what is the best way to remove the old one with minimal damage to the walls

Apparently that shelf isn't just sitting on some wooden supports. I guess the only thing you can do is start wailing on it with a hammer, huh? Under those conditions, you probably will have damage to the walls. Perhaps you can get access to a sawzall & just carefully cut the nails that are holding the shelf? Can you pry the shelf off the supporting wood with a crowbar? I guess, "carefully & trying myriad tools" is the answer.
