Fluval Ebi/Flora foam background popped out!

I came home today to find the styrofoam backdrop floating in the tank! I was going to remove it tonight anyways, so it did me a favor by self dislodging.

Problem is, how has anyone succesfully removed the silcone from the glass, which was holding the backdrop? I used a razor blade to get peel the silcone residue out, but can't get most of it as I an still see the circle it has left behind.

I took my background out when I got the tank. I used a razor in a scraper handle and was able to easily scrap all signs of the silicone off the glass. It was dry and had never been wet, not sure if that will make a difference or not. But you should be able to get it all off, without much hassle.
