Pedaled too hard going on a 100m downhill before an uphill and pushed my shoe into this chain guard.
Should I just remove it or keep it half on?
Will the imbalance hurt some part of the gears eventually?
I always roll up or have a sock over my pant leg.
I need to fix my other bike anyway.

It will not hurt the bike in any way if you keep it, but it might catch your pants or scratch your leg eventually, I removed mine once it cracked. You can live fine without it or replace it, they aren’t very pricey
I would remove it. I would not be worried about imbalance but I would be worried about the broken edge catching on my pants or cutting my calf if I accidently bumped into it.
Remove it!
Remove the broken plastic chain guard. It’s not going to hurt the bike, but in it’s broken state it will catch your pants leg easier.
