Default I need professional help: carpet removal aftermath

removed the ghetto carpeting job that the previous owner did. I don't see any rust, but there is a lot of adhesive stuck on there... Any idea how to take it off?

If you are installing new carpet, who cares? Remove the big chunks and put the new carpet in. You won't even know there is glue underneath.
