I would strongly suspect that the trim has been glued, or bedded in with mastic before being screwed in place. If all the screws have been removed, then it might be a case of sliding a thin bladed knife under the trim to break any sealant. The problem is avoiding any damage to the wall lining, though from the pic, it looks as though you will have to replace part of it anyway.

Thank you for your reply. I put a scraper down the bottom section which is held tight and it feels as there are a couple of screws in the lower section. It might be I have to remove the bed floor to reveal more fixings.
Now to try and work out how to remove the bed base🤔

Final removed it. It is stapled to the roof lining obviously during construction. Just eased away from the roof lining very carefully.
