You can use warm water. Start at the top of the mirror and pure a little warm water where it will flow from behind the mirror. It will flow down to the bottom. You then want to start loosing the mirror with a butter knife or a puddy knife. Dont force it just work it loose. Call me if you have more quetions.

Lay down heavy drop cloths. Score around the perimeter of the tiles with a utility knife to minimize drywall paper damage. Score the tiles with a glass cutter every few inches on the vertical. Run duct tape every few inches on the horizontal
Place a slotted screwdriver behind the score line at the top and gently tap with a hammer to run the glass. Tap tap the front to continue the score line and remove each piece as you can. Eventually you will need to use a wide chisel bevel face down to remove some sections. You must expect some damage to the drywall.
