what kind of caulking? latex? silicone? rubber?

for latex, try liquid fabric softer on a rag and a little patience.

for rubber and silicone, you're pretty much gonna have to scrape it off.

Any common paint remover containing methylene chloride will remove virtually
any caulking. May take a while longer with silicone, so just be patient. Use
blue masking tape to protect nearby paint. HTH

If it is a flat, smoothe surface a razor blade scraper (new blade) works
nicely.
