[SOLVED]How can I set GRUB timeout to 0 s ?

Question

First of all I'm neither dual-booting nor using multiple kernels. What I want to do is to save 5 seconds on every boot by skipping the GRUB menu automatically and booting to Arch which is my only OS.
I've tried playing around with options in /etc/default/grub (mainly GRUB_TIMEOUT and GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT) and updating the grub.cfg according to the Wiki, but with no result so far. It still displays the menu for 5 seconds unless I press return.
Below goes my current config, believe me, I have tried with different values, commenting/uncommenting those lines according to different tips found via Google. Am I doing something wrong?
/etc/default/grub
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Arch"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="rootflags=data=writeback"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rootflags=data=writeback"
# Preload both GPT and MBR modules so that they are not missed
GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="part_gpt part_msdos"
# Uncomment to enable Hidden Menu, and optionally hide the timeout count
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false
# Uncomment to use basic console
GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT=console
# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal
#GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=console
# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
GRUB_GFXMODE=auto
# Uncomment to allow the kernel use the same resolution used by grub
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
# Uncomment if you want GRUB to pass to the Linux kernel the old parameter
# format "root=/dev/xxx" instead of "root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx"
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=true
# Uncomment and set to the desired menu colors. Used by normal and wallpaper
# modes only. Entries specified as foreground/background.
#GRUB_COLOR_NORMAL="light-blue/black"
#GRUB_COLOR_HIGHLIGHT="light-cyan/blue"
# Uncomment one of them for the gfx desired, a image background or a gfxtheme
#GRUB_BACKGROUND="/path/to/wallpaper"
#GRUB_THEME="/path/to/gfxtheme"
# Uncomment to get a beep at GRUB start
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
grub.cfg
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
# It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates
# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub

Answer 1

Done, no effect...
EDIT:
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/grub/grub.cfg
This did the trick ...
Before that I created the config file in /boot/grub/grub.cfg and that's why...
