How do you remove winged wall anchors?
I’d simply push the bolt into the wall and let it stay in there. If the bolt has a washer on it or the head is too large to push through the wall, then you’ll need to hold the head with Vise grip pliers and use a hacksaw to cut the bolt off, letting the butterfly portion fall inside the wall.
Can you unscrew a screw from an anchor?
Once you remove a used wall anchor, the stretching caused by the screw that was in the anchor weakens the plastic. However, if you haven’t driven a screw very deeply into the anchor, you can pull out the screw and reuse the anchor by reinserting just the tip of a screw into it.

THREADED DRYWALL ANCHORS
Also called “self-drilling” or “self-tapping” anchors, threaded drywall anchors are made from hard nylon or metal and are able to hold heavier items. They feature sharp, pointed shanks that can be screwed into the wall without a pre-drilled hole by using a screwdriver or a screw gun.

Do drywall anchors really work?
Toggles, anchors or molly bolts are surprisingly strong. A 1/8 toggle can hold 30 pounds on 1/2-inch drywall and a 3/8-inch toggle can handle a hefty 50 pounds or more safely. When applying any kind of drywall anchor, you should understand how they work and which screw anchor may work best to put into a hollow wall.

Even though a drywall can support a TV up to 100 lbs, the device is still brittle and the mount can require additional support, or else the TV will land on the floor. Wall studs make up the frame for the TV that supports your walls. They provide a sturdy anchor point, ensuring that both the mount and TV stay in place.
Will Wall anchors hold a TV?
You must screw into studs when mounting a TV on the wall. Do not use hollow-wall anchors, as they cannot support the weight of TV wall mount brackets and the television. Once you’ve picked an ideal location for hanging a TV on the wall, run a stud finder along the top of the paper.
