I believe you bigger problem will be the tile does NOT go under the wall, so when you remove the wall, you will need to locate matching tiles, probably remove several tiles on both sides of the removed wall and have these replaced. The area where the half wall connects to the garage can easily be repaired with a narrow piece of 5/8 inch drywall. Double check and make sure there is no wiring on this short wall. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the feedback. Not sure we’re talking about the same thing, however. Pretty sure our wall is stucco’d block between block garage wall & block lamp post on top of concrete pad. No wood or drywall or tile. My concern is whether there is rebar holding half wall to garage wall or lamp post or concrete pad. Your point about wiring is also a good one I hadn’t thought of. Lamp post getting power from somewhere.
