You need to remove the belt fully. Cutting it won't help. Needs to be fully removed. Any bit left will cause issues.
Got a pair of mole grips? Try pulling or pushing the belt. If it has wrapped around behind the pulley it will be a pain to remove.

Im not able to remove it fully as i cant really get in there properly.
This axle wheel / pulleys that its stuck around is not spinning when engine is running so does it then really matter if a small piece is still in there if i cut it? I must have driven 20-40 km before i even noticed the belt had snapped since i was on a straight freeway. I noticed the AC stopped working before i felt the lack of power steering (same axle). Only noticed that when i exited the freeway.

Ive tried but its hard to see exactly where its stuck, cant really get my hands in there properly.
I can ofc cut it close to where its stuck, where pictured. The other half of the belt is hanging down under the car so i could cut that one from the other direction. But think there would still be a piece still jammed in to whatever its jammed into .)
