removing tiles and old grout from a wall

I thought I might be able to sand it but my orbital sander with a
coarse grit has not moved much either. Would a belt sander be more
powerful?

Yes, but I'm still clearing up the dust months after.

Steam wallpaper stripper (Argos ~£30) and a scraper is the way to go.
