Well, there has to be an open space like where there is no natural walls, that’s the only way you can break them

You have to start at the surface or edge of the dirt wall and work your way down to the area you want to build in. Use a hammer to do so.

You can also wait for the next update, when Terraria decides to enable breaking dirt walls in the middle with hammers.

I thought that was added 10 years ago. Also whats with the random necro of a 3 year old thread that was answered a long time ago? As this really is not constructive.
To reanswer you need a hammer to do it and you can't break natural walls where there is no empty tile surrounding it.

Okay then, so wait until Terraria 1.4.5 update releases, so they can re-added a feature to break natural walls in the middle with hammers.
