This is a screen shot from a sales video. I am not familiar with how these are constructed, but first thing obviously would be to remove the drawers and doors. I see a TV mount so there will be some structure behind that to support the TV bracket. Be careful until you figure out how that part is fastened at the top and bottom. You don’t want to damage the slide box.
I would assume the cabinet is pin nailed and glued. I assume you are not trying to save any of the pieces for re-install. I would start tapping on parts of the face frame to remove the face frame parts and the dividers in the center…working carefully NOT with reckless abandon. No idea how the pieces attach to the walls and ceilings and you don’t want to damage those. Proceed slowly and carefully with your pry-bar/nail puller and hammer. You might find some wood screws attaching the side and bottom pieces to the slide.

I am just thinking out loud and speculating here. I really don’t know the real way to remove the cabinet. I answered this post as I was walking about the grounds of the asylum before supper. They are calling me to come take my medication now. Bye.

One thing is certain, if you are removing the cabinet to save it, resale it, or use it again, you are fighting a loosing battle. They are stapled and screwed together and the flimsy frames, once things start getting taken apart, become very fragile and you'll end up tearing them out anyway. There are a bazillion staples holding everything together. There is no way you'll ever be able to put it back together.

Follow Mikendebbie's advise above, taking it apart one piece at a time. It will never, ever, ever come out as a whole unit.

Just curious though???? why do you want to remove it and what are you planning on doing with it once it's removed. I've removed some things from my Montana and I've kept every tiny scrap of material that came out. Even the stuff that splintered and broke. I've found the removed items come in real handy for color matching new built stuff, and for minor repairs on something else that needs attention or something else the broke. So, I never throw anything away after removing stuff.

Having had an entire side wall of the RV (fixed and two slides) removed and replaced, I can tell you the factory knows how to remove the cabinets and re-install them.
