Boot Camp assistant hits a SIGSEGV on the second page

I have an old Boot Camp installation (first Windows 7, then upgraded to Windows 10) that I would like to remove. I would like to repartition the Macintosh HD to use the space taken over by said Windows installation. When I open the Boot Camp assistant and click "Continue" on the first assistant page, the assistant crashes with the attached dump. What am I to do?

Thanks for your fast response! Apart from the usual periphery (screen, mouse and keyboard), I have an external hard drive (USB3, APFS). My macOS "volume" is also part of an APFS container.


Given information from a very similar question (BootCamp Assistant Crashes on "Continue"), I decided to just delete the BOOTCAMP partition with Disk Utility and expand the APFS container over the freed space (done automatically in the aforementioned step). I am unsure whether I would still need to fix something with the bootloader, but so far I managed to get the desired effect (e.g. removing windows and having all space available for macOS).
