USB Drive not showing storage ability correctly

Are you sure it is mounted? If it is not mounted you are just writing to you root partition (to the unmounted mountpoint) instead. That would explain why it shows 91.94 of 100.92 GB used.

What are lsblk and cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg reporting?

You cut the mountpoint part of the lsblk output. So I guess there was no mountpoint? Then it is not mounted.

Did you add an entry for the external disk to the fstab so it gets mounted at boot (best using UUIDs)? Also remember that you always need to manually mount it after plugging it in if it wasn't plugged it at boot or was unplugged afterwards.

You should also check that the folder is really empty (after unmounting it) or it will still waste the space of your root partition.
