You can see a lip that extends beyond the face of the slab. *I'm about
to cut off the rotten siding and replace it. *But it's clear that one
reason it rotted is because water would hit this lip and bounce back
onto the siding.

What's the best way to remove this lip without damaging the face? *You

I was thinking a cold chisel and a sledge, but I've never done
anything like this.

That's a lot of work for little benefit. Unless you find the concrete
aesthetically objectionable, just deal with the problem when you do
the residing.

First do your tearoff, verify that the sill plate is in good condition
- if not replace with treated wood, caulk/seal sill to concrete,
install aluminum kickout flashing on the studs, {option: install PVC
water table trim over the kick out flashing}*, install pressure
treated T-1-11.
