Scrape the glue using a floor scraper. Do this to the entire surface to remove the majority of the glue.
Step 2 - Removed Glue clear away any that is loose.
Step 3 - Soak Leftover Glue
In order to loosen them from their bond to the sub flooring, drench them in a solution of warm water and dish washing soap. In order to make the solution, mix about ½ cup of soap to a pail of warm water and mix it well. Pour the solution onto the glue sections and make sure that the entire surface is covered with it, especially the parts with the most glue residue. Let the glue soak and soften. Step 4 - Clean Leftover Glue
Once the glue has softened, it will now be easier to scrape off and most, if not all of it, should come off the sub flooring at this point.
Step 5 - Do Finishing Touches
There will still be some sticky remnants of the glue that can make the surface rough and finely uneven. In order to smooth out these rough patches, get fine sandpaper and sand the portions of stubborn glue that wouldn’t come off.

You can also use a blow dryer to soften the glue and scrape off.
Or rent a heat gun for really bad/stubborn glues.
If all else fails, you may need to consider putting a thin underlay on top of it.

Thank you everyone!
