Dear community, I have a small problem. It seems I overfilled one of my drawers, so the bottom one can no longer close because a scarf is stuck behind it. However, the drawer cannot be lifted out or unscrewed (there are screws on the sides near the rails, but they cannot be removed).
Do you have any suggestions on how I can either get the scarf out or temporarily remove the drawer?
Many thanks.

Okay, thank you very much, that was really a great tip. On the inside, there were indeed two screws (one on each side). I unscrewed them, but it doesn’t change anything, meaning I still can’t pull the drawer out.

Ok, I just noticed that the two screws that were holding the rail to the drawer... However, I still can’t remove them because it is secured at the back.

Why attach it from the back? In that case, the drawer wouldn’t be able to be pulled out or pushed in at all.

Well, attached at the back so that the drawer doesn’t fall out immediately when you pull it out normally.

It is held in the groove by the rails.
If the side panels are coated with plastic, the rail might be slightly "stuck" to it. Once the two screws are removed, try giving the drawer a firm pull, but be careful not to tilt it upwards, downwards, or sideways. Grip it as much as possible at the sides, not the front.
