These nails were used prior to when upvc and double glazing came onto the market to keep the glass in place. Usually these nails are in the corners of the frame and can be removed with an screwdriver when they are exposed or cut off with a hacksaw. If any are hidden, you'll have to make use of a small chisel or putty chisel to cut them free from the frame.
