If polution/rot has set in and the water has become toxic/poisonous, then the tank will need to be stripped down for a complete clean out and scrub. The living occupants will need to be placed in containers with good clean water of the correct parameters. If the overfeeding was recent, then the easiest way I know of is to remove the left overs with a syphon tube (hose) and simply syphon the rubbish out into a bucket or other container for removal. The replacement of at least 10% of the aquarium water should be done weekly anyway if you wish to have a healthy environment for your fish. Fresh water to fish is like fresh air to us. We need it to live.
