Use a heat gun to soften the adhesive. You can also get a scraper with a wide, sharp blade at the home centers.
Use a hair dryer to warm the tiles and soften the glue.
We removed cork tiles like this.
Sharpen your garden spade and ram it under the tile at an angle.
If the adhesive is still sticky try coating it with baby powder.
then we scraped the remaining glue off with sharpened 'old' chisels.
We tried the hot air gun and it only made the glue burn, get stickier and then harden like rock.
We also tried acetone - nail varnish remover. Petrol - solvent. Metholated spirits - dont know why but it was on the list.
Clothes detergent, shampoo.
Keep trying, something will work
