Getting the dead algae out of the soft-side pools is a problem, because the pools are not supplied with the gear to do so. Here are some options:

1. Leave the algae there.
Once the algae is dead, it's not really a problem. But if you continue to use the pool, the algae will be stirred up during use, and some will be filtered.

2. Set up a vac hose, vac head, and pole, and manually vacuum the algae to the filter. Getting better cartridges will help a lot. See the Super Simple Recipe for soft-side pools, for links and more: http://pool9.net/ssr/

It's also possible to use a head + pole + hose to siphon vac a pool, but of course doing so wastes a lot of water.

3. Get a battery vac:
Water Tech Pool Blaster Max
Water Tech CATFISHPPV Pool Blaster, Catfish
Pool Blaster PBW022MF Micro Filter Bag
If you are interested in the battery vac -- and we've had pretty good reports on this brand -- call Water Tech *FIRST* and make sure that the fine bag will pick up debris like yours. It's possible that it may just go through the bag, so ask first.
