To Drain or Not to Drain

[Pembo]

My pool is full of mud and silt from major storm. Deck area drain got clogged and the storm water overflowed into the pool, along with mud, silt, leaves and mulch.

Anyway, I am wondering if I should just drain the pool at this point and clean it. I can't see much further down than 12" or so and has a deep end. Pics are right after taking cover off.

Advice/suggestions appreciated.

You have to be very careful about draining a vinyl-liner pool.
