How to remove window metal?

[AP3]

Hi I have a piece of metal that runs along the width of a window that I need to remove. It appears it is only held in place by 2 screws at each end, otherwise I think the piece of metal just sits flush against the window frame. The screws are in channels - see picture. What’s the best way of removing this? Was thinking a multi tool could be used to cut through the screw? Any advice ?

Unfortunately Eric @EricL my life is littered with poor tool choices. 

Example - when Kmart decided to rid itself of hardware and tools they started selling boxed multi-tool sets for $5 each on clearance.

Thinking a bargain was to be had and I would never need to buy blades again - I bought 6 boxes.

The tool was good - the blades were rubbish. Cleverly, Kmart made the blade attachment fitting only for their blades. 

Live and learn as they say - I still gotta lotta learning to do.

I'm with @Nailbag  - the blade choice is significant.

Cheers.

(PS - if you want a box- let me know. 😁)

Thank you for all your advice. I bought an average tool but quality blade you recommended and it cut like butter! Well it was very smooth and incident free given proximity to glass.

Thanks again

That's great to hear, I'm glad you got the fitting off safely and without incident.

Thats excellent @AP3 

I have always said a sharp blade in a basic saw will cut better than a dull one in a top of the range model. Good quality accessories are always a good investment. Last longer, do a better job with less effort.
