Hey i Managed to Uninstall the NVIDIA drivers and then i kind of cheated to not get stuck on

[Ok] Reached target graphical interface.

Here’s what i did

First i ran command

sudo nvidia-inst -tn

it showed me command that i needed to revert to nouveau drivers so then i ran that

pacman -Rs --noconfirm --noprogressbar --nodeps lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-dkms nvidia-settings nvidia-utils

even after doing this i would have still got stuck on
[Ok] Reached target graphical interface.

Now the cheating part:
I Ran command
sudo pacman -Syu

it showed me that i had update available for linux linux-headers

so i updated the system. and it replaced the old kernel and did whatever it does.

in short, i think it removed the kernel changes that NVIDIA drivers did. then i rebooted and i no longer had the NVIDIA drivers installed.

Edit: i think i had to update initramfs after uninstalling NVIDIA drivers but the update did that for me.
