`modprobe -r nvidia` removes the nvidia kernel module from memory.
It is the undo of `modprobe nvidia`, which loads it in memory.

BUT:  modprode is MORE then just load and unload, there is also
programcode from the kernel module executed. During "load" there
is initialization done.

The request is uninstall the nvidia module. To remove it from disk.
With the effect to stop it from loading and executing init code.

That reboot is to clear initialiastion the nvidia driver could have done.
