Magento2 module fields still visible in admin after module is disabled

Question

I am experiencing an issue while trying to disable a Magento2 module causing custom values to still be visible in the customer edit page.

I would like to know what i have to do to completely get rid of a module and its data from a Magento2 system.

Magento version: 2.3.2
PHP version: 7.2.19

A custom(own) Magento2 module was installed by:

Copying code: app/code/VENDOR/MODULE
Running: magento module:enable VENDOR_MODULE
Running magento setup:upgrade

This module creates a couple of Customer EAV attributes that correctly show in the customer edit form. I am able to populate/save/update values successfully.

I am disabling the module as such:

Running: magento module:disable VENDOR_MODULE
Running magento setup:upgrade
Completely removing the app/code/VENDOR/MODULE directory

When i navigate back to the customer edit page i can still see the attributes, visible and populated with previously entered data.

At this point i have tried the following:

Manually removing the entry in setup_module.
Including a Uninstall class.
A combination of magento cache:clean && magento setup:di:compile.

For Customer attributes you need to delete the specific attributes entry from table "eav_attribute" you can search by "attribute_code" and delete that row, you have to delete attributes from the database because there is no functionality in admin to delete an attribute

This is the method by which the custom attribute can be removed as I also tried manually to delete that module attribute and it took more than 1 day to find this solution.

public function upgrade(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
    {
        $eavSetup = $this->eavSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);

        $eavSetup->removeAttribute(Customer::ENTITY, "<attribute name>");

    }

You can remove multiple attribute too at same time by separating attribute name by commas.

After this just run -

 bin/magento setup:upgrade && bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
