Accidentally left a plastic cutting board on top grate in oven. When I preheated it I open oven to see strings of melted plastic falling onto oven bottom. Quickly removed grate outside but left with a bit of plastic. What is best way to remove?

You can try a scraper and gently scrape it.
Cold oven, try a plastic putty knife to pop up off bottom.
A tenant left a tupperware container of brownies in her oven and forgot they were in there. went the next day to bake something and ended up with a melted mess that dripped through the shelves onto the oven floor. She was so upset and distraught, even offering to pay for a new stove. With the oven cold, I took a metal 3" putty knife and worked the blade under a corner and pried up, it popped off in one big piece!! She learned her lesson " Don't store things in your oven"
If prising it off when cold doen't work for you. Put wet Kitchen roll tissue that has been dipped in soapy water ontop of the plastic and warm oven, with the hope the heat and steam will conduct the pmelted plastic into the paper and it can be removed.
