Isopropyl alcohol is good for that sort of thing...

Kerosene or lighter fluid should work. If you have neither, try a
small dab of petroleum jelly, a "nylon scrubbie," and some elbow
grease. If you want to use a scraper, a plastic "credit card" works
without damaging the Formica.

try WD-40 if you have it around the house.

Did anyone mention Goo-Gone? Works a treat.

I second this. WD-40 takes it off better than anything I've tried.
Took 12-year-old duct tape residue off tiles.

use a razor scraper.
wet the area with some soapy water to make the razor glide, and use at a
very shallow angle.
