What is the best and easiest way to remove old caulk from a tub wall?

I bought a house at the first of the year and removed the shower doors to put up a shower curtain instead. The only thing I couldn't remove was the side pieces that held the frame . The former owner used a massive amount of caulk and I need to remove it.

Putty Knife, Widget, WD 40, Patience, and time are the only way I know of.
Make sure all the screws have been removed that are securing your trim pieces, then start lifting at edges with a stiff putty knife, working a little at a time until it releases. Clean surface with a widget and then finish up with WD 40 and a green pad.
Hope that helps

there may be a tool to remove calk If careful maybe a screw driver. Don't want to damage tub or cut yourself or as the other lady said a small putty knife. Be careful with razor blades but maybe one of those blades with a handle if you have a steady hand
I agree with the putty knife and wd40! Wd40 does amazing things in many ways you could never imagine!
Thanks so much
Thank you so much Kim, did what you said and it worked great! Had everything already in the house!
