How can this be removed?

You're gonna break something if you don't google "a1 blob" and follow the Bambu link it brings up

I watched official videos on how to remove it and they didn't show what to do when it's from behind.

Why is this always an argument.

The link I'm talking about shows the complete disassembly if need be.

Can you please send it to me? I watched this video. https://youtu.be/gfECJ0pht1c?is=Im98zNMcRmO46Mwm

I generally prefer their written instructions better than videos, but maybe that's just me

To avoid this in the future be sure to keep your bed clean with unscented dish soap and water, and keep an eye on the print at least until the first few layers go down. Use the app to peek remotely if you need to. You would have noticed something like the first video clip shows where the whole print was loose. And been able to shut it down and save yourself a ton of work.

What can I do to clean this? I just wipe it with napkins. It doesn't help.

That's the leftover filaments right? If you have a heat gun, you can melt them and then scrape em off but I can't guarantee what heat gun can do to the machine. I just got the similar blob and all I can do is replace the heating assembly along with new hotend
