Would that not hit doors and cause a trip hazard. Is there nowhere in the
house where you can see an end to see what is going on. If its only glue,
then I guess getting them off is the least of the worry. If they were in
slots and you have a gap it sounds like they were not very well secured. If
you can see the carpet edges, surely you can see the edge of the bottom part
of the strip?

Mike Halmarack explained on 16/11/2020 :
I've tried to gently lever one or two up but they seem very resistant.
The floor beneath is concrete to which the strips seem very firmly
fixed. Not having much idea how to remove and replace them I'd much
appreciate some advice.

They are probably glued down to the concrete and likely a type where the
carpet is pushed into a slot which has a sharp series of tangs to retain
the carpet at either side.

Rather than removing the existing strip, you might find it more sensible
to fit a flat strip joiner over the top. Drilling and fixing with screws
through your existing strip.
