After the main carpet layer is detached, begin removing the padding. Carpet padding is typically stapled or glued to the subfloor. Grasp a section of the padding firmly and pull it upwards, separating it from the wood. For stubborn sections, carefully use the pry bar to lift the padding without damaging the subfloor. Collect removed padding sections and dispose of them properly.
