I’ve had good results by scoring the tile and cutting into the grout around each tile before removing it. The idea is to provide less surface area for adhesion before prying it out, so it takes less drywall with it.

live in san diego and have been working remotely under our company's SF salary schedule since well before covid. i'm too extroverted to be fully remote and wish i could interact with people, but every time i look for a job here, i can't take the pay cut and still comfortably pay my mortgage without dipping into passive income. and i bought in 2016 and put 40% down.

Use hot water. I had the same problem because I followed traditional advice to wash darks in cold water. Now, instead of light/dark, I separate my clothes into smelly (gym clothes, socks, underwear) and non-smelly (everything else). Smelly clothes get hot water. Solved my problem.

Reply to comment by Sodinski in Removing tile from wall is taking sheetrock with it. by [deleted]
Ive weakened the grout with a handheld grout saw, then I’ve used the chisel that you have pictured along with a hammer to chisel the grout out.
Then slowly chisel the tile from multiple sides and gradually angle the chisel outward to apply force. If you use a lot of force with an outward angle to pry the tile out, you’ll take a lot of wallboard with it. You want to chisel between the tile adhesive and drywall all the way down/across the tile until it just falls off.
