Tearing down module of a wall....? I would like to break down part of the wall surrounded by...

I would like to break down part of the wall surrounded by my home between the living room and kitchen. Right now here are beams on any side and an annoying half wall within between that serves no purpose. What would I use? A sledgehammer? How about to smooth out the edges after, as division of it will end up staying? Any tips? Thanks!
Oils for reed diffusers?
Answers:    Consider something more serene than a Sledge, such as a sawzall. In your detail you claim you'll leave the studs, and in need us knowing if they are load attitude; obviously the partially wall isn't.

Smoothing: probably a few options. Collar them within drywall/ plywood/luan/ etc. and paint or finish then to contest other walls or paint colors. It would also give them a more substantial look.

Certainly as one answer suggests; Electrical issues. IF they exist; hold to be dealt near.

Without knowing the span of the entire wall, or how you define BEAMS; I'd want to know if ANY are nouns bearing back I took a Wrecking ball to the livelihood. If that happens to be a nouns bearing span near a lintel over the half wall; you might own a few BEAMS 16 inch on center to deal next to.
