Outdoor carpet/indoor-outdoor carpet is glued down to the concrete. The only way to get it up is to scrape it up with a flat blade floor scraper. I took a boxcutter and scored the carpet into 3'- 4' sections. Scraped and rolled the sections up. Lots of leg work-out.
I must presume the backing turned gluelike, that you are having difficulty. To ease up on that usually: Paint remover, epoxy remover or fingernail polish remover will work.

We removed our outdoor carpet off the patio a few months ago, but we were very fortunate since it had been down for so many years.....we just pulled it right off. There was residue left from the glue, but with careful sweeping and a bit of sanding, it came right up. Good luck to you!!
If you have to scrape, get a floor scrape. It will help to save your back.
