I'll just add my two cents. No offense to you or others.
First of all you didn't state the substrate that the indoor/outdoor was glued to. That might make a large difference in removal methods. Actually I'm amazed that carpet might still be glued anywhere; given our human instincts for "change"
Home stores sell floor scrapers.
To soften it with any manner of solvents might create more mess and more removal issues.
I'd wonder also about the intent AFTER? new flooring? Tile/ carpet/ wood/ laminate/ concrete stain?

You can try steam. Rent a steam cleaner or buy a hand held one and steam the glue away.

I would freeze it with a spray gum remover or with ice

Try WD-40 let it soak and then scrape.
