Then, use some Knife or something hard'n'sharp to get between the Connector
and the HDD slot, try to easy it up carefully from side to side.

Grab the edges and wiggle strongly from left to right while pulling.

Those plugs can be bastards to get off sometimes, so persevers with your wiggling.
Don't use a knife ir sharp object inside your computer, especially if you haven't unplugged it!

They usually just slide upwards. Some need to be pulled towards the front from the bottom edge and then slide upwards.
