When I tried to remove the mirror in a small bathroom, it broke into many pieces. Hindsight being what it is, I think I should have tried using a glass cutter to score the mirror into several pieces so it wouldn't break up so much.

I agree with the others- if it's held up with glue, I wouldn't try removing it on my own. If it's got hardware you can see and remove its much easier. It's still held on with glue, but not as much as with glue alone, and will usually just pop right off the wall Once the hardware is gone.
It's a good idea to be proactive and cover the glass with either news paper and masking tape or inexpensive sheets of contact paper. Much safer and less mess in case of a break.
