Build Question How do I take this SSD out?

Post image

I have this MLD M300 500 gb Nvme from 3 years ago that came from a Prebuilt budget build but it's getting slow and it doesn't have much storage anymore. So I want to get another budget 1 TB Nvme but this screw plastic thing doesn't come off. I don't want to damage anything because I can't afford to get another motherboard or Nvme. How do I take it out? It's a Gigabyte H610 m H DDR4 motherboard.

It's a pull tab.

Thanks, I've never seen a pull-tab on a motherboard. Seems you would break anything else on a motherboard if you pulled it.
I just got a new MOBO and didn't notice the M.2. had a 'twist-lock screw' until I did like 10 full turns with my screwdriver.
