I need to remove the outdoor carpet on my porch as it has mildewed. I suppose I should cut the carpet in strips with a box cutter. Since I am not going to replace the carpet, I need to get all the residue from the glue off the concrete floor. Is there a product for doing this?

Are you going to leave the floor as concrete? If not and are going to put something else down I wouldn't spent too much effert. I have found a link for some removal products that look suitable for you:
Yes, I do plan on leaving the floor as concrete, possible painting it. Thank you Stu, for the website.

If scrape marks on the concrete don't matter, try using an ice chopper. Used to chop ice off of driveways, it's also a good way to remove carpeting on concrete, provided it wasn't glued down. Might still work then. Use it as you would a chisel, except ice choppers have handles 6' long.... ram it at an angle against the carpeting.
Or go to the local rental shop & see what they have.
