How do I completely remove leftover Flatpak data for Sober on CachyOS?

I'm trying to get rid of all the leftover files related to Sober (Roblox) on my system. I found a folder at /run/user/1000/doc/by-app/org.vinegarhq.Sober/ but I can't seem to delete it. When I try the command 'sudo rm -rf org.vinegarhq.Sober', I get a 'Permission denied' error. I even attempted to change ownership with 'sudo chown -R $USER:$USER org.vinegarhq.Sober/' and got the same 'Permission denied' message. I also tried 'sudo chattr -i org.vinegarhq.Sober/' but that failed too. What are my options here? I'm running CachyOS.

That folder isn't leftover data; it's part of the document portal's FUSE filesystem. Generally, it's best not to mess around outside your home directory unless you're sure of what you're doing. If you don't want Sober anymore, you might want to just ignore it. Reinstalling the distro isn't necessary for removing that.

CuriousCat123: So does that mean the Sober files are going to linger on my system indefinitely? I'm really not keen on having it just sitting there. Is there no other way to get rid of it?
