If you're SURE it's glued, proceed as the experts here have suggested. Mine
had a combination of glue and the clips at the top of the mirror - the
bottom of the mirror rested on the top of the backsplash. I didn't wanna
handle the large full-wall mirror on my own, so for remodeling bathroom #1,
I paid a glass company $175 to get the mirror off (it's heavy and awkward) -
they wanted another $125 to put it back up after the countertop was
replaced - I just had them take the mirror away. They offerred no guarantee
that the mirror woudl survive being pulled off the wall.

For bathroom #2, the countertop company is only charging me $130 to pull the
old countertop and backsplash, AND pull and replace the old mirror after
tyey're done installing the new countertop.

Check with your countertop company - they may help you solve the mirror
problem.

My spouse is replacing Formica countertops with granite on four vanities.
Each has a mirror that was set onto the Formica top, glue applied to the
back, then pushed to the wall. The new tops will be thicker and the
mirrors
must come off or cut shorter from the bottom. Two glass companies told me
the only way to handle this is to smash the mirrors and pull the pieces
off,
and ruin the drywall in the process. Are there any other options? Thanks

Put some duct tape on the mirrors so they don't shatter, then try to
pry off with a crowbar at one end. If it breaks, just take off in
pieces. Its not rocket science.
