I would like to replace my old toilet paper holders with new ones. Is there anyway to safely remove old toilet paper and towel bars without damaging the particle board they are attached to now? Thank you!

You can use a blow dryer to soften the adhesive. You can use a sharp putty knife and cut into the adhesive between the holder and particle board. There may be some damage you can repair with wood filler.

Are they glued on (probably not) or screwed on? Look under the holders and look fora small set screw. Loosen and remove the holders. The screws should be visible now. They are either screwed to studs or backer plates. (Plywood between the studs to screw TP, towel holders, mirrors to.)

Remove the roll holder and gently try to turn each one counter clockwise and see if they are bolted on.
