I ran the command sudo apt-get purge indicator-power because my battery icon is not displaying. After running this command I ran sudo apt-get install indicator-power but the purge command appeared to have removed some other tweaks.

What are the other commands I need to run to revert this?

Also, this fix unfortunately did not fix the battery display problem so there is still that issue to address.

I have tried all solutions outlined in this post: No battery status icon

Unfortunately, none of them seem to fix the indicator.

I am new to Ubuntu so thanks for the help.

I can't speak to indicator-power but I can answer the main part of the question:

apt purge deletes all the configuration files shipped with a package. If you make alterations and then purge, your changes are lost. You could attempt data recovery techniques but something like that is a needle in a haystack.
