Windows has system restore but is there anything similar in Linux ?
I Had used Transmission a few times and it worked ok but something seems to have messed it up (probably me) Can I just uninstall it with the hope it takes any errors with it and then reinstall it again or is there an alternative approach to this ?

No there isn't a system restore.
As to transmission I find it a PITA!
I had it installed on a previous laptop, moved the files and config to a new one and it refuses to start.
I did:-
sudo apt remove --purge transmission*
rm -rf ~/.config/transmission
sudo rm -rf /etc/transmission/
sudo apt install transmisison*
Then tried loading the config again but ended up creating a new config
The 2+3rd lines remove the config files.

The majority of that would be removed with the "apt remove --purge transmission"

Thanks for the responses,
If you don't use transmission what if anything do you use in it's place ?
Or for a newbie using Linux what would you recommend using in it's place ?

I would have suggested Deluge, it was my preferred torrent client. Transmission is good for low memory systems IF you can get it working, where as Deluge is a bit of a memory hog (You need 760-1Gb ram to get it running properly)

I've never had any problems with transmission.
I have a relatively high memory system though (2GB).
