One of our tenants just moved out of a 200 sq ft shop and left a yucky
carpet that was glued onto the concrete floor. What would be the
easiest method of removing the carpet that presently is stuck to the
floor?

Usually, carpet glue doesn't "weld" the carpet to the concrete. If
you can get a corner up, it should be pretty easy to pull out.

pull and scrape adhesive, then use goo gone or goof off to remove the
remnant adhesive

Cut the carpet into strips by running a utility knife down it. If you make
them 1 1/2 to 2 feet wide they are easier to handle. Once you pull up a
corner, the rest will come easy enough. They you are left with glue on the
floor that will be a bitch to get off. Use an ice scraper/chopper on a long
pole.
