From How to Remove Old Carpet from Stairs, Step 5: Remove Padding
The carpet padding is typically stapled to the subfloor, primarily along its perimeter. Locate an edge of the padding and pull it up using your hands. The padding should peel away relatively easily. Roll up the removed padding, similar to how the carpet was rolled, and secure it with duct tape for convenient disposal. Exercise caution as some staples might remain attached to the padding.
