loose the filament in the extruder, so that you could pull it out.
then begin to heat up your hot-end and start to pull the filament out.
pull gently and keep pulling while the hot-end is heating up.
since its hot enough (for pla 60-80°C) you should be able to pull the filament out. pull it slowly out.
if all works correktly you should have a clean hotend and the dirt at the end of your filament.
if you have the all-metal hotend, then you could try to dry your filament (just park it on a radiatorfor some hours).
pla starts to suck up water from the air and starts to make problems if it is to wet.
some types of pla are almost unprintable in all-metal hotends.
