How do I uninstall an app from virtual device without having access to the virtual device

Question

A package (an app) that I installed on a virtual device has resulted in the virtual device crashing on start up. The error logs directly point at the package I recently installed, which launches at start up and immediately crashes the whole system. I would like to know how this app can be removed now that I no longer can boot up the virtual device.

Update: Solution is to do as pointed out in the answer below and uninstall it using adb.

How did you install an app without access to the device? I'm thinking whatever method you used would be a good starting point. — takendarkk, Jul 12 '14 at 15:08

If you know the package name, use can use adb as follows:

adb uninstall com.example.package_name

Note that the package name isn't the same as the app's name. If you don't know the package name, then see this answer for how to find out.
