Default Getting tile adhesive off a plaster wall

I suspect the answer is no, but is there an easy (ish) way to get tile

rearrangement before we bought the house, and it would not be
appropriate to re-tile over the same area.

I have tried a steamer, and an orbital sander with coarse paper, but
am wondering about using Nitromors. *Can't think of anything else - so
am becoming resigned to a long job, but this group often surprises me
with answers I've never thought of, so any ideas?

TIA

If it's very hard, 4"/100mm angle grinder. VERY messy business and
the finish you get depends on how careful you are. The diamond coated
ones work best as they don't choke up. Only suitable for smallish
areas, takes forever on big areas.
