I recently picked up a second hand Osprey Jib 35 for my kid. I got it at a pretty decent price, but given the age of the pack the inside has started to get tacky (unsurprisingly).
I was hoping to be able to wash it and leave it to dry inside-out, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how I would be able to release the metal frame without bending it.
If there are any suggestions (even if it's just to not bother) I'd be keen to hear them.

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

I have successfully removed and reinstalled frames on Osprey Exos and Levity packs. These have figure 8 shaped spring steel frames, your frame however looks to be aluminium which might not be as forgiving.
In my case I used zip ties across the middle of the hourglass to compress the frame as much as possible, them popped the corners out. It was all pretty snug. I did this so I could seal the internal seams.

Maybe you could try talcum powder as suggested for sticky tent flys?
Perhaps the easiest solution would be a LW liner bag?

Agree with Moondog, a wipe out and a dusting with talc will likely resolve any hygiene and tackiness issues. Frame removal on these bags does have risk of structural damage.
