What exactly are you having the most trouble removing? Is it corraline algae? A razor blade works well if you keep the glass and algae wet while you do the scraping.

i have removed all the algae with the scraper but the glass looks like it has a film on it that i have been trying to remove with a rag and water.

Try using a water/vintager solution, let it set a bit, than try cleaning it.
