How to remove this type of hollow wall anchor?

I need to remove a few hollow wall anchors from drywall of the type shown in the link below. I know I could rip them out and make a big hole, but I was wondering if there was any way to "expand" them...

I've always carefully drilled the head off, then pushed them into the wall.
By using a drill bit a few sizes larger than the screw that goes into the anchor you can get the head that is on the face side of the wall to come off.
