[SOLVED] Deleting bumblebee Kernel Module Blacklist

I saw this on arch wiki;

"
Note:
The bumblebee package will install a kernel module blacklist file that prevents the nvidia-drm module from loading on boot. Remember to uninstall this if you later switch away to other solutions.
The package does not blacklist the nvidiafb module. You probably do not have it installed, because the default kernels do not ship it. However, with other kernels you must explicitly blacklist it too, otherwise optirun and primusrun will not run.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              "             

So how can I delete the bumblebee kernel module? I want to use alternatives instead cause bumblebee gives me lower fps, while I got more fps with other OSs without bumblebee. I just want to remove bumblebee for performance.

Title edit: I wrote "Kernel Module" and then realized it was "Kernel Module Blacklist".

Yeah, sorry I just forgot to mention I realized it actually puts a kernel module blacklist file instead of being a kernel module. So basically bumblebee (not a module) blacklists nvidia module (as the wiki says), and I want to remove that blacklisting thingy (cause the wiki says dont forget to remove the blacklist file before uninstalling bumblebee). How can I?

I would say go to
"usr/lib/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf"
and remove it (I believe this is the file with blacklists)
or search for nvidia in the
/usr/lib/modprobe.d/
/etc/modprobe.d/

... there should be a line like "blacklist nvidia" and more, so just comment them  and remember this file can be overwritten by update

Thanks, the bumblebee.conf was at /usr/lib/modprobe.d , also I realized uninstalling bumblebee deleting it automatically anyways.
