actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
Your removal command will not work as its '--purge' not simply 'purge'

try:

sudo apt-get --purge remove compiz*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; cd
~/; find . -name "compiz*" -exec rf -rf {} \;

will remove all compiz stuffs from ~ and the system. You can now
reinstall with:

sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install
compizconfig-settings-manager; sleep 5; clear; compiz --replace

If you get the same error, I suggest you reinstall your vidia drivers as
thats what the error message suggests to me:

sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*; sudp apt-get --purge autoremove; rm ~/.nvidia-settings-rc
; sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180

Then restart x with alt+ctrl+sysrq+k and you should have nice vido
again. You can then retry the compiz
