You will need to remove the bad caulk with a screw driver or you can buy a device to scrape it out. Then clean the area and let dry over night. Make sure it is good and dry. Then apply new caulk.
Use a butter knife it works great get the end started and pull
I have successfully used (gently!) a razor blade.
The only way I know is to cut it out, with a razor. There may be a caulk cutting tool. I've never used one. So I don't know how well they work. I've been a professional faux finish painter for years. I also hang wallpaper, garden,sew, and work full time job in fabric department.
Bought a caulk remover tool from Home Depot, it worked perfectly, any residuals were scraped off with a single edge razor.
I would recommend using a plastic scraper as to not scratch or damage your tile. You can pick up a removal and application tool for under $10 at Lowes. Let me know if you want me to locate a link for it.

You can use a utility knife or putty knife, slicing through the caulk and peeling it away. For multiple layers of caulk, needle-nosed pliers might work best. There are also specialized caulk removal tools designed to tear away caulk cleanly.
Hi Abby, I use a scraper razor, gently run is along both sides of the caulking to loosen it and peel it away, use the razor flat to scrape residual caulking off the surface, hope this helps you out.
scrab it off
Anything that will dig in and you can lever up should do it. A Dremel would be good.
use a scraper to remove it after all dries out
You can use a metal scraper or a razor blade with a safety handle.
Use a Dremel machine.
A 3 in 1 caulk tool will do the job. Check in your local hardware or home improvement store.

Use either a screwdriver or a nine in one tool. You may need an exact knife to start removing the caulk.
