If you want to go for a complete uninstall you have to uninstall the HAXM, so:

cd ~/Library/Android/sdk/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager/
chmod +x silent_install.sh
./silent_install.sh -u

HAXM can be fully removed even if you have already deleted "~/Library/Android*". This is the official guide: https://github.com/intel/haxm/wiki/Installation-Instructions-on-macOS#Removing_Intel_HAXM
The command is:
sudo /Library/Extensions/intelhaxm.kext/Contents/Resources/uninstall.sh

Thank you!
