Hello! Does anyone know what this type of screw/plug is? It is installed in a drywall. It has free movement, meaning you can pull it back and forth in the wall but cannot pull/screw it out the last bit as it seems to be stuck on the backside. Does anyone know?

I would use a knife or wire cutters to remove the plastic plug as close to the wall as possible.
I wouldn't have the energy to try to do it any other way.

It is a plastic mollyplugg and they cannot be pulled out as they have barbs, cut off and let the rest remain in the wall.

Okay! Does the screw automatically come loose if you cut off the plastic plug then?
