Would you copy a few of the red lines that concern you and paste them here? That would help me understand your issue better.
(I don't need all the lines---just a sample is fine. If you prefer, you can mask your username or any other personal information.)

OK, that is helpful. There are permission denied errors related to cleaning the general system (not specific to your user profile).
Does it look like this?
os.getenv(LOGNAME) = palladini
os.getenv(USER) = palladini
os.getenv(SUDO_UID) = None
Or does it look more like this?
os.getenv(LOGNAME) = root
os.getenv(USER) = root
os.getenv(SUDO_UID) = 1000
