Remove the nine 6mm Phillips #0 screws that secure the back cover of the laptop.

Note that Dell Inspiron 13s have had a rash of bad batteries that swell as they age, causing them to press hard against the trackpad. This can cause it to track poorly or make it difficult or impossible to left or right click the pad. Replacing the bad battery often fixes these kind of trackpad issues on these models where the battery is directly under the trackpad.
