You misinterpret the metrics. 99% doesnt mean your disk 99% full.
It only means that 99% of your VG is allocated to LVs.
If you want to see how full your disk is have a look at the usage of the root filesystem (at your nodes summary page) and the thin pool (at YourNode -> Disks -> LVM-Thin).
If LVM is new to you I would recommend to learn the LVM basics and read a bit how LVM works, what PVs, VGs, LVs, Thin pool and so on are.
Always highly recommended to understand the used storage to prevent user error and resulting data loss.

You misinterpret that too.
Your disk is split into 2 thick LVs and one thin pool LV.
One LV is your root filesystem and "local" storage. This only got fixed 93G. Here you store files like ISOs.
Then there is another LV of 8G that is used as swap.
The remaining space is used for the thin pool (your "local-lvm" storage) where you can only store virtual disks of your guests.
Your Nodes summary is only showing the usage of the root and swap LVs.
For your thin pool usage you have to look at Disks -> LVM-Thin.

I'm a bit confused I'm new to proxmox so am i good cause when i try to make a vm i only have 100GB of storage and can't go over that.
By default you can only store VMs on that "local-lvm" storage so they won't eat up space on that 93G root filesystem as it is another storage. And your "local-lvm" probably got something like 300G of space. Again, have a look at YourNode -> Disk -> LVM-Thin! It should tell you how much space you got left for creating VMs/LXCs.
what im not getting is that when i set this all up i had 2TB close to 3 how do i only have 1TB now where did all that space go?
So it is a 1.8T disk.
96G are used for the root filesystem which is 4% filled.
8G are used for swap.
1G for the bootloader partition.
1.67T are used for the thin pool and that is 0.01% filled.
So all as expected and you got plenty of space for creating VMs.
