Hi there, cover them with tape first! Masking tape works well so does painter's tape. That way if you do break them they hold together!
Use a length of dental floss like a saw. Pry a corner and slip the floss behind the tiles and use a sawing motion to cut through the foam tape or adhesive. You can also use some butchers string or heavy fishing line.

Looks like this could be a dangerous job for someone who has never dealt with this before....mirrors are usually adhered to a wall with firm glue or very heavy tape in either case you will have to most likely repair the sheet rock under it....call in a contractor for an opinion first...
before trying to remove, cover the glass in painter's or masking tape to cut down on the breakage.
Could be stuck on with double sided sticky pads and may lever off. Try the bottom row first, but wear Gloves and Safety glasses whilst doing it. Are they Glass mirror tiles or could they be Acrylic??
Glad to help - Stay safe.........
