Screen completely black after editing xorg.conf

Hi!
I wanted to enable my nvidia card and edited my xorg.conf as described here

This was my xorg.conf

Section "Device"
  Identifier "iGPU"
  Driver "modesetting"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
  Identifier "iGPU"
  Device "iGPU"
EndSection

Section "Device"
  Identifier "dGPU"
  Driver "nvidia"
EndSection

And now when I boot up the screen completely goes black and I even cant user ttys with ctrl+alt+fx.
Is there a way to bring up terminal and delete the xorg.conf?

I changed the run level to 3 in grub and removed that!

Is this a continuation of https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=259337 ?
