See the pics of my poor Sovol SV06's hotend. I did not listen to it misbehaving and now I have this mess. Should I just replace the hotend or the drive, or is it possible to save this one?

From the pictures, it looks like there is a significant amount of filament residue clogging the hotend. It is most likely necessary to replace the hotend to ensure proper functioning. Attempting to clean it may not completely resolve the issue, and the residue may affect print quality. It's always best to consult Sovol's support or a professional technician for a more precise diagnosis.

The filament on here is PLA so I guess I could use a heat gun to get it off?

Yes you can try to heat it up with a heat gun to get it off, or even plugging in the whole extruder assembly and heat up the nozzle
