How to remove rusty cupboard screw?

[Else]

I'm having trouble removing this last rusty cupboard screw ... I can't get any purchase with a screwdriver & don't have a drill.

Can anyone suggest sthg I can try,  before I  call in a handyman/woman?  : )

Sorry, I've just retried to delete the above post but can't.

I did manage to remove the screw though, by spraying the outer edges with silicone spray then using the screwdriver. Sorry if I've wasted anyone's time

Good Evening @Else 

Nope, no time wasted and really there is a fair chance you have helped someone else out in the same situation Glad you got it sorted!

One little trick for future use if you come across the issue again.

Grab your screwdrive (flathead or phillips head at the correct size for the screw) place over screw, use a hammer to "tap" hard and sharp once. Then try turning the screw. You may be lucky and it breaks the rust siezed feel.
