The best way to cut out sub floor next to wall is to use a skill saw. Adjust the angle to of the blade toward the wall. Work slow. A saw-saw is another option but is less skilled approach. If all else fails grab a hammer and a chisel.

Use a reciprocating saw with a carbide blade. Put a block of wood to rest the shoe of the saw on to keep from cutting too deep. Pry out after cutting.

Cut as close as you can with a skil saw, then used a reciprocating saw. (the ones that use a straight blade) Then knock out whats left with a hammer.

Cut out your sub floor right up to the wall. You will then need to install a nailer board so your new flooring has a base.
