    Depends if you want to keep/reuse it .... and .... depends if it's glued or the clip-together type ....

    (assuming the person unstalled it to the edge of the skirting and then put quadrant around the edge), just remove the quadrant from around the edge of the flooring, remove any door threashold strips, and then from one end lever it up (carfully - if you want to keep it), not so carefully, if you don't. (if it's glued you wont have much choice - taking it up will damage it).

    If it does'nt seam to come up in strips/planks easily - you might want to try from the other side of the room too - and see if this come up easier.... as the profile of the clip together type is designed to be inserted and removed by tilting/joining into one side only.
