just had to do this not long ago myself. had to help a friend get glued down carpet off a concrete floor. it came up very easily since it had been flooded and had been waterlogged for about 3 days. it was 3 weeks after the flood when we torn it out, and it all came up very easliy. so i would soak it in water for about 3 to 4 days and let it dry out after that. to help dry it out open the windows and place fans in the room . but other than that good luck since the glue is so hard to get up on its own.

Sounds like time to dig out the metal scraper. You can also rent a tile removal machine. This is usually used on tile floors and has a blade that scrapes the floor.

Definitely scraper, I agree. My old man is a carpet installer and he scrapes it off. Tough job, but, you can do it. Lots of luck. Hope you can get the job done so you can redo it in the style you want.

ONe of the ways is to pour water until it gets all soak, and it might take some time to do it until it comes out, and with a metal padding, you can grind it, and peel it of from the concrete floor.

Have to scrape it off, All kinds of scrapers out there. Get one with a sharper blade.
