Get a clean stiff scraper and place it in between the trim and tile and gently and carefully keep tapping it upwards along the length of the trim, chances are if your careful enough it’ll come out ok. If not get a heat gun and gently heat it until you can bend it back and then cut it off with a Stanley knife.
