You would have to use the uninstaller provided, or do a full fastboot stock flash from ADB over USB or manually delete the symlink files left behind through a root filemanager before you flash or you will inevitably get a shrew of errors when trying to recover from a TWRP backup.

Nethunter is developed by offensive security, same team that develops the Debian based Linux OS, KALI. Nethunter will not improve your OS performance wise and no matter what anyone tells you don't think that your phone is running 100% when your taking up more resources with Nethunter or anything additional from stock unless its a tweaked kernel.
