I wouldn’t have vast confidence taking that on, but if I did I would go at it carefully with a multitool rather than a regular saw. Perhaps that’s what you meant.

Gypsum plaster is pretty resilient stuff, and even if you gouge out bits, patching is fairly straight forward with filler.
These might be all you need, for both getting through the glue & filling the holes.

We had something similar. Thought of replacing also but a new coat of paint and a change of handles gave it a new lease of life. Unless you just hate it

Looking to remove the previous owner's built in wardrobes in 2 rooms. One room will be replaced with IKEA Pax system, the other with bookcases and bench to create a sort of reading nook.
I can't tell if this could be a DIY job or I'll end up pulling down plaster and fucking it all up.
Pictures attached - looks to be glued to the wall/skirting and then a timber frame for the doors/rails/shelf. Logic tells me a good electric saw with a thin blade, then carefully take back what is left with another tool should give me something good to work with? Or should I just put it on my tab and get someone in?
