Ok I did some searching online and found the proper syntax for the --purge option. So I ran "dpkg --purge transmission-gtk" and it appeared to remove the config files. I tried again to run "apt-get --purge remove transmission-gtk" with the proper syntax but it told me I could not remove it because it was no longer installed. Below is what happens when I try to install it. I get the same message if i attempt --reinstall.
