It's not tile. Thank you!

What kind of flooring and what do you want to replace it with. Photo would help.
I'm not entirely sure which kind of flooring you're working with but here are a bunch of different Hometalkers' helpful ideas to get you started: http://www.hometalk.com/categories/remodeling-renovating/bathroom/floors
If it's glued down vinyl or linoleum, a hairdryer will loosen the glue better than anything I've found. Then there is a liquid glue remover to take the stuck on glue up. I used Henry Easy Release Adhesive Remover. I think I got it at Home Depot.
A hand held floor scraper with a blade. It will remove the vinyl and most of the glue
The hair dryer will work but it would be really slow compared to a heat gun which is not that exspensive and has a lot of uses.
