    How was it put down? Is it on concrete , wood with backerboard, thinset mortar or adhesive. Is it already grouted? Let me know I might have Ideas If its glued down in a mortar bed you will most likely end up breaking it. Also what size are the tiles. If you can move it most likely will be slow going. So lets recap.

    1.How was it put down?

    2. Is it already grouted?

    3. what size are the tiles?

    Ps. What makes it installed wrong?

    It was not grouted yet, but thanks to me not knowing what I was doing they popped right
    Up because I did not put down enough thin set.

    Thanks Very Much

    If you have not resolved this problem already try this. If it already loose a stiff putty knife may pop it up without breaking. Just take your time and good luck.

    You've probably already installed the tiles by now ,but for future reference use a 1/4 notch trile with the thinset,
