We bought a home and in the dining room there is one wall with 1x1 mirror's that cover the entire wall. We want to remove these, but have no idea how to go about it without destroying the drywall underneath. I have no idea what type of adhesive was used. It isn't that they look all that bad, I just don't want to spend the next 20 years cleaning them. Plus, they make the room look a little dated.
Any tips or tricks taking these down?

You can expect some damage to the wall when removing mirrors. This is easily repaired by skim coating, priming, and painting.
Put down a drop cloth and use a small pry bar to pry the mirrors off the wall.
