So I have an idea of what I did wrong, I am just not sure how to fix it.

I used the Unity Glass mod: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/07/unity-glass-offers-refined-new-look-for-the-unity-launcher

After removing it, I cannot reset unity and it does not work.

Even after purging Unity and reinstalling it, I cannot seem to replace the missing files.

It looks to me like your compiz settings need to be reset (manually). To do this, remove ~/.compiz-1, ~/.compiz and ~/.config/compiz or ~/.config/compiz (if they exist; depends on your compiz version).

Also, you can delete ~/.gconf/apps/compiz-1 to be safe.

So long as you have reinstalled Unity, this should fix it.

Its always a really good idea to make a backup of a working compiz settings. You could export the settings in CompizCofig Manager. If something goes wrong you should first reset compiz settings there and after that import your working configuration an logout/login. After login you should have a working configuration again.
