Linux Fedora virtual hosting Removing Dir?

I am running Fedora 36 in my Linodes account.

/proc is the problem.

Now I want to delete the bulk of the process logging files that have built up since this was installed.
Each process in this virtual host volume adds another entry to this /proc directory and they are now massive.

I see I have process directories ranging from 1 to 6-digit values! But no combination of rm this and that with all kinds of flags works because the permissions refuse the remove execute.

Even when I ask for all deleted recursively through all sub-directories and files the permissions tell me “denied”

i log in with user root privileges. Used sudo just in case. Completely ran chmod through every directory and sub-directory to give write & execute permissions.
Still get same permissions denied.

Has someone a reliable clean-up tool to override system root permissions for removing excess baggage in the directories of a linux installation in a virtual host?

I have spent hours trying top-to-bottom configurations to let me have permission as a root user to delete files and directories.

Thank you, thank you to anyone who does this task routinely!
