Tile – How to Remove Tiles from Wall

tile

I have a wall in my house with tiles on it. I would like to remove the tiles but am not sure how to do that correctly. I see from other posts that this kind of thing seems to be a more difficult job. Does this advice apply in my case? The wall behind is made of drywall. This is an accent wall, not a fireplace.

It seems as if I may be able to pry the tiles off the wall. Easy way to remove tile concrete from bathroom wall?

With the wall behind the tiles being drywall you would be wise go rip the tiles and drywall down

Removing the tiles will tear the paper and possibly take chunks of the gypsum out. Even going very slow and trying the Sheetrock will be heavily damaged.

I would rip the tile down with the Sheetrock, we can’t tell how wide the wall is but it will be much faster to demo and replace.
