Removing awning anchors from wall?

[alkemyst]

I have old awning anchors and the strip of metal the top hinge slid into. I'd like to remove them. They have large nail head on them and don't want to pry out.

Is the best way to just cut them with an angle grinder/cutoff wheel then patch the wall?

Wondering if anyone here has any tricks.

Thanks

I think you have the basic idea.

they are prying off. Technique is special though, don't hammer to the lesser part of the wall or ledge.

They are like rivets and molys once I get them out.
