Can anyone help?

Emulator instances (AVDs) on OSX can be found in:

~/.android/avd 

So from the terminal:

 cd ~/.android/avd ls 

will show you emulators and their configurations. Note that there is a .avd directory, as well as a .ini file for each existing emulator.

Duration:

 rm -rf emulatorNameIWantToDelete.* 

From the ~ / .android / avd directory, this emulator will be manually deleted.

Just be careful because the rm -rf command will delete something permanently.
