$ man 1 apt-get
No manual entry for apt-get in section 1
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.

The apt-get(8) man page says:

"purge
           purge is identical to remove except that packages are
           removed and
           purged (any configuration files are deleted too)."
