You could use the below PowerShell Command to remove all unique permissions set everywhere(subsites/lists/libraries/list items/library files/folders...) on a site collection.
For Reference: How to reset the specific library permission including all subfolders on SharePoint?
PowerShell Commands:
#Load SharePoint CSOM Assemblies
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll"
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll"
#To call a non-generic Load Method
Function Invoke-LoadMethod() {

$Ctx = $Object.Context
$Load = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext].GetMethod("Load")

$ExpressionArray = [System.Array]::CreateInstance($Expression.GetType(), 1)
$ExpressionArray.SetValue($Expression, 0)
$ClientLoad.Invoke($Ctx,@($Object,$ExpressionArray))
