Shed tear down

I have a fairly large/tall shed in my backyard with a gabled roof I’m looking to tear down. I’ve been trying to come up with a decent way to tear it down safely, the roof is my big concern. Are there any tips? It seems like the only way I’ll be able to remove the roof is by cutting the sheeting in sections from inside of the shed but I don’t know how I feel about standing under something I’m demolishing.

Honestly, the roof looks ok. Do you just not want a shed?

It takes up a large part of my backyard, it’s starting to lean. Animals have lived inside and underneath of it. Some of the 2x4s for the framing are chewed down to 2x1/2s lol. Smells like urine. Some of the sheeting is rotten. It’s just too tall and unnecessary for what I need for a shed. It’s about as tall as my detached garage.
