Read other tickets: #20114 - Blank Page After Update
I also read another one before this, but now can't find that number

My problem: Immediately after I uploaded the new Akeeba Admin Package (5.3.0), my screen went blank. The only way I could access the backend is by disabling it by renaming the main.php file to main-disable.php.

What I have done:
(1) Reinstalled it a second time, back to back (as suggested in the two tickets that said to do this). Result: Same thing happened the second time: blank screen.

So then...
(2) Deleted the following files, as per the instructions in #20114...
administrator/components/com_admintools
components/com_admintools

However, the instructions said to also delete these, but I could find no such folders:
plugins/com_admintools (no folder called com_admin tools directly under the plugin folder)
media/com_admintools (no folder called com_admin tools directly under the media folder)

After deleting the first two, and not being able to find the other two, I tried again to upload the update.
Result: Same blank screen.

Back to only being able to access the back end by disabling the main.php file.

Not only that, but now my website does not show up at all (i.e. blank page) unless I have the main.php disabled.

You were very close but you misread a critical bit of the other tickets. You need to delete plugins/system/admintools (NOT plugins/com_admintools).

Also keep in mind that you should not try to install Admin Tools Core over Admin Tools Professional in the future. It is not supported and it's what caused the problems in the first place.

I hope this information helps!
