I should note i think i may have had some nonfree firmware on this machine when i first installed it but i can't remember for sure. Could that cause this issue?

now i run the following

apt clean
apt update

since above it already says it is going to remove proxmox-ve I know what result i will get:

I have looked through endless websites and I can't find a solution. Perhaps this is because I earlier today accidentally did an apt upgrade?

This did the same thing before i did the apt upgrade. Any help is much appreciated. Perhaps I need to do a complete fresh install?

Hi,

are you sure you don't have any other files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, i.e. some other repos configured?
Or maybe some package pins or similar?
The repo files you posted look fine to me, based on a quick look.

Can you please post the output of tail -n+0 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* /etc/apt/preferences.d/* /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/*? That should give all relevant information. (Since it might produce quite some output, you can of course also attach it as a file if you want )
