The name three cornered leek refers to the leaf.Cut a section to reveal the corner, easy to ID. Looks like a flat leaf, no smell agree with @nutcutlet Muscari. Some large buckets spade and patience required. In some soils they are fine but in others they are happy growing through every plant in the garden. The flowers are lovely in spring they flower for a couple of weeks or more depending on weather. Looking at the photo I wouldn't let them flower and set more seed.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
@byronpatterson84 I don't think there is an easy solution. This is going to take time whatever you do maybe years. With weeds you could cover with old carpet for 12 months but you have bulbs that will be more than happy sitting under the soil. I think the only way is lots of hard graft. I do remember they has a problem at Sissinghurst with crocus tommasinianus doing the same thing, they may still be battling with it today?

I agree with @GardenerSuze. There's no easy solution. if you have anyone to help you that could be easier, but it's one of those jobs that's a real chore. If you can get it reasonably well cleared, you can prep the areas, do the turfing/seed sowing, and at least you can keep them at bay a bit by regular mowing. The blue muscari are quite tenacious though.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

I agree with others ....Muscari...they can be a real pain to eliminate.
GardenerSuze is correct..leaves are not angular as in Allium triquetum..see pics to show a cut leaf.
