linoleum has been well bonded for in excess of 20 years. Will be replaced with carpet which cannot be laid over the top.

Unfortunitly I don’t think you can without ruin the wooden floorboards the adhesive which is used to lay vinyl flooring is extremely strong and leaves residue which can not be lifted . You going to have to lay on top of it - or screed and start over again

heat gun should do the trick. heat and scrape. may me time consuming and a patient exercises but keep persevering. I had to do this of recent with 40+ yrs worth of caked on glue but on a wall. renovations are the last thing I do in a hurry, but its worth it when you see the end result.

it has to be peeled & scraped.
once you have the majority of it off, you can sand the floor to remove the remaining residue.
