First time replacing sealant on my mtb tubeless tires. Not sure if I should scrap out the gooey film, or just leave it.

No reason to clean it
Just get the large chunks out, inside doesn’t need to be perfect. Use a rubber cement eraser on the bead and you’re gtg.
I just scrap out some of the easily removable pieces and go on with my day. Make sure the outside of the bead is clean but it’s usually a non issue.
Just worry about any loose or heavy lumps of sealant and check around the bead the rest is normally fine
ahh thats why I just bring it to the local bike shop, just getting back ready, no mess
I put them back on and pretend I didn’t see anything
At this point I normally need a new tyre anyway. If not I just top it up and go.
