My uv filter broke , saved lens but can broken glass get inside the lens , and can it be taken out ? Pictures are fine . Maybe just let it be .

I wouldn't worry about it unless it appears to affect the images or the ability of the lens to function properly (if it's a zoom, for example).

You didn't say how the filter broke, but in any case I don't think I'd worry about broken glass getting inside the lens. I'd be more concerned about other damage to the lens: the outer glass of the lens, the threads for mounting filters, focusing mechanisms, etc. If all that seems OK, just keep on shooting.
