You should be able to. You will probably have to exit out of the calibration setup. but I don’t expect that is much of a big deal.
Also, after reading some of the other comments here, I would suggest looking closely where the Bowden tube enters the hotend. (see arrow in the linked picture) There is a fitting right there that will allow you to remove the tube. Push the black ring down and gently pull up on the tube. It should pull right out. Then it’s a simple matter of, heating up the hotend, grab the broken filament with your fingers or a pair of pliers, and perform your filament removal step. Replace the tube once the filament has been removed.
