As it's probably plastic and plastic glue, the back pack will actually be fused to it as that's how the glue works.
You'll have to very carefully cut the back pack off.

I finally got it off. The backpack is no longer usable but it was warped in the first place. Thanks for the help.

Okay, be careful with knives (not because they are sharp) but because hobby knives are notoriously thin and can snap back at you or head at your eye especially if you try and leaver it off. I would use a thin hacksaw blade and gently saw it off (it is very soft material even if it is metal). Alternatively if you can lose the backpack just slice it away and then file it neat and flat ready for a new replacement backpack later.
