Default Best way to remove wall tiles without breaking?

Breaking one and then wedging them out? The one good point is the fact
the wall they sit on is plasterboard - so that hopefully will just
pull away through the damage the leak has done.


I'd attack the plasterboard. If it's already damp, wetting it more will
make it really weak so it should release from the tiles. Getting the
adhesive off the backs could be done mechanically - carefull use of an angle
grinder even?

If some adhesive is left on the back it won't really matter if it's not too
thick.
