Goku was also killed by cell who abosrbed her but spat her out she was unsconscious when he died and didn't learn of it til after Cell was defeated. With Goku dead. Gero's mission was actually fulfilled and she realized she was free from Gero from now on. With Goku gone, Vegeta, Piccolo and Gohan powerful enough to kill her if she tried to go bad. She chosed to settle down.

Also She wasn't programmed to destroy the earth, just kill Goku. In future trunks' and cell's world. She destroyed the Earth purely for fun after learning he was dead already after rebelling against Gero.

Gero wanted to rule the Earth as he was the brains of the red ribbon army. Just couldn't control his creations.
