Cooling 

How would I go about getting this fan cleaned out?

I'm this far. https://imgur.com/a/YkGzB

I really need this cleaned out since its overheating pretty fast.
Well, you are not really far, you're at the very beginning.

You will have to tear your laptop apart, and build it all back together. Laptops are usually a mess, and they're over-complicated to tear apart by design, partly because this way brands can still profit whenever you need to do something on its inside. Usually you'll have to unscrew every screw at the bottom, unscrew some screws on top of the keyboard (after taking some plastic out), take the keyboard apart (careful with the band that connects it), unscrew more screws bellow it to open the PC and only find out more screws to unscrew.

Are you confident with doing all that and putting it all back together? If so you can search at youtube for "(insert laptop brand + model) disassembly" and something might pop up.
