To remove a UV glue tempered glass screen protector, follow these steps:

Be careful when handling sharp objects and chemicals. Wear protective gloves and eyewear if necessary. If you're not comfortable with the process, consider seeking professional help.

Prepare the necessary tools and materials: You'll need a thin plastic card (like a credit card), a hairdryer or heat gun, dental floss or fishing line, a microfiber cloth, and isopropyl alcohol (70% or higher).

Heat the screen protector

 Turn on the hairdryer or heat gun and set it to medium heat. Hold it about 6 inches (15 cm) away from the screen protector and move it around the edges in a circular motion for about 30 seconds to one minute. This will soften the UV glue, making it easier to remove the screen protector.

Lift the edge

 Insert the thin plastic card between the tempered glass screen protector and your phone's screen at one of the corners. Gently lift the corner, creating a small gap between the protector and screen.

Slide the dental floss or fishing line

Take the dental floss or fishing line and insert it into the gap you created. Hold one end of the line with each hand, and gently slide it back and forth, working your way around the edges of the screen protector. This will help separate the protector from the screen.

Lift the edge

Remove the screen protector

 Once you've worked the floss or fishing line around most of the edges, the screen protector should start to lift off the screen. Carefully lift it away from your device, making sure not to apply too much pressure to avoid damaging the screen.

Clean the screen

Use a microfiber cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol to gently clean any remaining UV glue residue from your phone's screen. Make sure to clean the entire surface thoroughly.
