zstd: error 70 : Write error : cannot write block : No space left on device

Seems your tmpdir is out of space. You might want to set it to a different location, see https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#vzdump_configuration

How would one go about changing the location? Ive been trying myself but i havent been able to figure it out

You need to set the tmpdir path in the vzdump config. For an example, have a look at the exemplary conifg in the docs section linked to in my previous reply.

Ok turns out you can just,,, remove the lock by going into the config file hereAnd just remove any text regarding the lock

I know this is probably a bad idea but i dont have access to a proper computer rn so this will do for now
