Go buy some drywall mud and sandpaper from the hardware store (someone there will be able to help you if you're not sure what you need). Smear the mud over the hole until filled and let it dry (may have to do this more than once if it's a big hole), then sand it until smooth. Paint over the mud spot with whatever paint you used on that particular wall.
You can have the following steps to fix the holes in the wall:
1. Clean up the hole; remove any debris or remaining paper from the holes.
2. Form the hole in a symmetrical square.
3. Cut a piece of drywall, smaller than the repair area and place the new square patch in the hole.
4. Then apply a thin layer of drywall all over the patched area.

If the hole is small, like a doorknob makes banging into a wall, then you can fill with mesh tape and some mud. Bigger than that, I cut out a square and screw in side one piece of 1x4 across the gap, then cut and fit a square of scrap drywall, slightly smaller than the hole I've cut screwing it to the 1x4 , following with mesh tape and mud. You may find videos of this on YouTube, it's a very common technique.
If it's small, fill it with mud (drywall compound. ) or caulk like Alex ll. If large, make a backing patch from spare drywall and fit into the hole, hold it with 2 screws, then tape it with mesh tape, then mud it.
This is easy!! If you want to know how to replace a hole in a wall, just make another hole using your fist, hammer, rock or other device. If you would like to know how to repair a wall that has a hole in it, then I wouldask that youplease re-phase your question. I say this respectfullyin good humor!!
Depending on how big the hole is you can easily fix it with Alex ll caulk for holes smaller than about !/2 inch , or you can insert a backing piece of mesh and do it with drywall mud. There are many good videos on Youtube on this - watch a few and get the idea.
Fill it with joint compound, level it with a putty knife or a straight edge of some kind. After it dries, gently wipe across it with a damp sponge to smooth it, no dust using a sponge.

How do you repair drywall that has torn from wallpaper removal?
You can buy drywall compound already mixed. If you don't have one, buy two putty knives (they're cheap) one small and one larger (for larger jobs.) If there are small holes in the drywall you can simply fill the hole with the drywall compound. You may need to give it a second application or even third application as the compound will shrink as it dries. When I apply it I am sure to make it even with the wallboard and clean up around the edges as this makes it easier to sand with a fine sand paper after. Let it dry over-night and then lightly sand with fine sand paper. For larger holes you will need to purchase a dry wall kit which includes a drywall patch to cover the area. Follow the directions in the dry wall kit which are pretty much the same as covering a smaller hole, you just need more of the drywall compound. The patch is needed to adhere the compound to the wall and to give it stability.

How do you repair holes in quarter inch thick drywall?
It depends on the size of the hole.For the smallest holes (less than an inch or so), you need spackling paste and a putty knife. Fill the hole with spackle, wipe it level with the wall with the putty knife, and let dry. Paint.For medium holes (about 1" to 8" wide), you will need an aluminum patch, which is sort of like a mesh grid, patching plaster, a sanding sponge, and a large putty knife. Put the mesh grid up to the hole, and use the plaster to coat the grid and blend it into the surface of the drywall. After it has dried, sand it even. Prime and paint.For larger holes (larger than 8"), you will need a drywall patch, joint compound, a sanding sponge, drywall screws, a screwdriver, and a compound knife (to spread the joint compound). Cut a larger, well-shaped hole around the hole that you are trying to repair, in the shape of a rectangle (for example, if you had a football-helmet shaped hole in your wall, you'd cut around the hole in the shape of a rectangle) and remove the excess drywall. Cut the drywall patch to the same size as the hole you just made. Screw the piece of drywall into the joists inside the hole. Use joint compound to cover the drywall screws and blend together where the drywall patch meets the old drywall. After it had dried, sand it even. Prime and paint.
