If it's fiberglass take a sawzall and cut it into two pieces and remove it that way. If it's cast iron, either break in into pieces using a sledge hammer or remove the sheetrock around tub and lift it out. It is way easier to break it apart. If it's a steel tub, remove the sheetrock and remove the tub or take a metal cutting blade on an angle grinder and cut it into two pieces and remove it that way.

I was havng d same problem i solve ut by fiberglass or cast iron? do plan on remodel bath or putting in a shower? fiberglass tubs are easy to cut in half cast tubs have to be removed as a full piece no mater what you will have to patch walls approx. 12+ inches above tub

You would...give us more information on what type of bathtub it is. The only thing for certain you need to do before removing it, no matter the style of tub, is to turn the water off and cap the water supply lines in the wall.
