Package Installer Has Stopped

[Android Central Question]

I downloaded this app called Mochila a few years back on my s7 to keep track of bus route schedules around my campus. The app is outdated, and updates are no longer available because apparently the app no longer exists in the play store. So now I have this useless app on my phone that takes up space and will crash occasionally (haven't gotten that error message in awhile though) and every time I try to uninstall it, I get the 'package installer has stopped' message. I've already tried clearing cache and downloading other apk installers through the play store but even those keep stopping. I really want to try and avoid the hassle of resetting my phone completely and any help would be appreciated.

Try uninstalling it in Safe Mode. https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=409154

Welcome to Android Central! Did you initially install the app through the Play Store, or as a downloaded apk?
