Looks like all those Items in blue are respo's I deleted

This is strange... even the items from your sources.list are reporting a lack of a release file...

Did you modify the sources.list file at all? Or only delete items from /etc/apt/sources.list.d?

I did notice that the CDROM zorin OS entry still says 16.

Only from list.d ...... didn't do anything that I know of in sources.list ..... but these were all done using Nemo at that time as it was set as default until I just changed it to Thunar

First, please clarify that the upgrader did fully run:

cat /etc/lsb-release

If the output shows:

DISTRIB_ID=Zorin
DISTRIB_RELEASE=17
DISTRIB_CODENAME=jammy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Zorin OS 17"

Then proceed with the below:
Can you please elevate to root, then open your /etc/apt/sources.list file in a text editor. Highlight everything (Or Select All) and delete all lines. Black it out.

Once done,
copy and paste the below into it.
