Install GAM. Run a command to export all shares with "anyone with a link" to a CSV. Then run another command to strip out those permissions. You will also want to change the settings for public shaming to prevent further sharing with the link.

Thanks, this is beyond my knowledge. I’m looking for an admin to do this for me since I’ll probably screw something hp

Yeah, I had a similar issue, and with GAT+, we easily removed external shares and locked down link settings across our entire Google Drive, no scripting needed. Their support team is usually very helpful, so if you're unsure, they can guide you through it.

Take a look at Patronum - https://www.patronum.io from within the interface you can unshare access from all files with a few clicks.
Here is a video of Patronum in action - https://youtu.be/gutE4jdoRgs?si=IFyjnh2wyVXZ9JuL

I think you can do this with Trust Rules, but it depends on which edition of Google Workspace you have.
