  Get a sprayer and fill with water....lightly spray the popcorn until it's damp. Use a wide putty knife to scrape it off. You can also tape the putty knife to a shop vac and it makes less mess. It is messy so you need to remove everything or cover everything in the room with plastic.

With a spray bottle of water. Once you spray it and get it wet you can scrape it right off :) Be prepared for a big mess
