You can pick the paste that is almost in the holes with a pointy wooden toothpick and wipe the rest off. Hopefully the previous owner did not shove (too much) all the way in there.

Wipe it off with Isoproptyl alcohol and a good cloth that wont get fibers stuck in it (Do not use paper towel, tissues etc)
