What is the best way to remove wallpaper?
I don’t want to leave tracks in the drywall as I did previously in a different room.
a steamer your best bet. Otherwise you can use a wet sponge and soak the wallpaper till it starts coming lose! It will need to get pretty wet before it comes off with a sponge
Sometimes it comes off easy, most of the time - not. Warm water in a spray bottle, and scraping it off. Test a corner and see if it gives any - you might be one of the lucky ones!

There more you score, the more steam gets in, the easier it is to remove. Rent the steamer from any tool rental facility.
I have heard of spraying on a mixture of water and fabric softener as well, but you do have to really make sure it soaks in and gets the wallpaper wet so it comes off. I used vinegar mixed with water on mine, made sure it was saturated and soaked in and then peeled.

Best Way to Remove Wallpaper
How about good old viniger & water and spray bottle
we successfully removed vinyl paper using a heave spray concentration of water & fabric softener. It was two huge walls & the paper peeled off along with "sheets" of backing/adhesive that looked & smelled like giant dryer (fabric softener) sheets! It was amazing ' amusing but easier than we expected!
Warm water with dish was soap, wallpaper will be easy to remove after it is wet
I use a steamer and also spray with vinegar and water.
Yes, I forgot about fabric conditioner - it works really well!
