Wet/dry vac works wonders!

Yep just siphon it out....

siphon it out or scoop it out with a fishnet

You could also use your substrate vac. Another thing to try is to get a clean dust pan and use it like a scoop they worked for me when I was removing crushed coral.

Siphon

Use the siphon tube, remove the gravel vac part, just the tube. It creates more suction, it'll suck the sand out very quickly.
