mirror in bathroom needs replacing, have four brackets holding in place, but it feels something is losing it attaching to wall.
Break it and hope nothing happens to you contained by the next 7 years ;-) it's probably 2 sided tape...
try prying it..., beside a skinny straight edge.
How big is the mirror and how is it attached? If it is clipped on you only have to remove the clips. Thin mirrors are sometimes put on near double stick tape. You might be able to carry a knife behind the mirror and slice the cassette. But what I suspect you have is a larger mirror that has be glued on. The last time I removed a voluminous mirror over a bathroom vanity, I found it was glue on to a Sheetrock wall. I contemplated cracking the mirror and removing it piecemeal and decided a safer way would be to remove the SR on the wall. We cut around the mirror near a sawzaw and using flat bars pried the SR from the studs. From that point it was simply a wall repair next to a new piece of SR. You might want to tape the mirror powerfully first to keep it causing any damage while you are prying behind it. Consider that if you could somehow remove the mirror the glue would still enjoy to be removed and that is going to cause despoil to the wall also. Sometimes what seems like more work is in fact less. If you are trying to save the mirror and you be successful in removing the wall plus the mirror you can then instigate to remove the wall from the back of the mirror in pieces. If it is glue you will have to break it to remove it. And the the wall will be damaged. Often some of the bonding agent is still on the wall making it impossible to put anything back on the wall until you remove the remaining glue. It is a adjectives practice to glue mirrors to the wall. Dangerous to remove if they have to be broken. be sure to wear safekeeping glasses and gloves.
Answers: There are usually several 'dollups' of mirror adhesive attaching mirror to wall. Tape off the mirror near corner to corner, top-bottom, and side-side masking or duct tape to prevent shattering. Gently pry from multiple points going around the mirror. It will eventually pop sour the wall.
Probably glue. prob some sort of glue. purely get something behind it and verbs it off but you may need two ancestors
probably glued(some brainiac). You will have to break it. Just your fruitless luck. Do it on Friday 13th with a black cat and you know your day is shot. Sorry... they cannot be removed...
What you have need of to do is demolish your house. then rebuild a tentative house around the existing mirror.
