Hi Dawn, it depends on the material the backsplash is made of. If its a smooth stone or tile a razor blade will work.
You can purchase a silicone caulk remover at your hardware store which comes in a small container. It is made to loosen caulk for easy removal.

For water-based caulks, begin by soaking a towel or washcloth with warm water. Then, apply the warm water to the existing caulk. This process will serve to soften the caulk and make it easier to remove. For a silicone-based caulk, do the same thing but with acetone or denatured alcohol for better results.
Hi Dawn, hope this helps you out.
