Yes, you can remove only the portion of the tile that will be located under the new wall. The simplest way to do this, would be to use a circular saw, with a diamond, or graphite blade (assuming this is ceramic tile). If this is actually vinyl tile, you dont need to remove it at all, just build right over it.
You can get blades to cut ceramics, marble, steel, etc at your local building supply store… just tell them what diameter you need, and what you are cutting, and they can help you select the appropriate blade.
The reason you remove ceramic tile, when installing a wall, is that securing the wall to the floor, will often crack the tile. By cutting out where the wall is to be installed, you avoid this.
Once the tile is cut, then comes the fun part of prying out the portion where the wall will sit, hehehe.
