Just use rubbing alcohol or witch hazel. Pour or sponge it on so the area with the dried latex paint is either very saturated with it, or a flat "spill" layer sits over it. If you're removing large amounts from a concrete floor, you can try laying squares of paper towel and saturating each square and letting it sit. In either case, let it sit and soak for a few minutes. The longer it soaks, the easier it becomes to remove. After soaking, use a scraper to chizzle the paint off. It should come right off very easily if it has soaked for 5 minutes. There is likely to be a thin almost-opaque layer left, so be sure to have some steel wool handy to finish of the last remaining amount while it is still damp from the alcohol. This should get all of it. You'll need a coffee can handy to put all the removed paint in.

Why would dry latex paint wipe off walls with water?
Dry latex paint can sometimes be reactivated with water because latex paint is water-based. When water is applied, it softens the paint's surface, making it easier to wipe off. This is especially common with matte or flat finishes that have not been properly cured.

Can you use latex paint for a wood fence?
What do you mean? Yes, paint on wood trim is typically latex these days. Some older homes may still have alkyd (oil), though. To find out for sure, put a little nail polish remover on a cotton swab and rub it on the paint in an inconspicuous location. It it gets soft and starts to come off, it's latex. Either way, sand it lightly and recoat with the same type of paint and you're good. If you're asking about bare wood, DON'T USE LATEX! The water will swell the grain of the wood. Use an oil primer that is made to take latex topcoats.
Can you paint latex over oil paint?
