lifting laminate floor from under cupboard

This week we are having a new laminate laid but are getting rid of the old ourselves. Problem is we have a tall larder cupboard in the room being done and it was put in on top of the old laminate.

Can anyone suggest the best way f removing the old laminate from under the cupboard.

    If the cupboard is just screwed to the wall removing the cupboard is possibly the easiest way.

    Can you not pull off the front plinth and lift up/unscrew the front legs to remove the boards, refit and do the same to the back legs
    The unit will be attached either to the adjoining units or to the wall, so will be ok if you only remove one pair of legs at a time, although might be better to reduce any weight inside the cupboard if you can. Have done this many time myself to remove laminate/vynil flooring
