You can use a long handled scraper and lots of elbow grease, or you can buy a small version of a jackhammer that’s made for just such a job. You will have to work on your knees, but can always buy a set of gel knee pads.
Is it possible to measure depth of current tile, find something in compatible color for edging? You may be able to pull up toilet and install compatible tile beneath toilet, although you may have to make some cuts.
Could you possible find a time that coordinates with the tile that is put down already that is the right size? All you would have to do is take off the toilet to tile underneath it and reinstall it when finished. That way you would not have to take up the tile and go through all that mess. It would be like putting a framing edgework around the bathroom and I don't think that would look bad at all. I hope this helps you, Donna!
A small sledge hammer, dust mask, and eye protection to remove the tile. Remove toilet, and vanity if you can. Then you can tile. Replace toilet with new wax ring.
