Answer: You scrape off the glue with a putty knife,or they may have an adhesive remover to help quicken the situation. As far as fixing the hole,it depends on how big it is.If its very small,fill it with some joint compound.If its larger use a drywall repair patch.If its very large,cut out the damaged section,and replace it with a new piece of drywall.
