Accepted Answer

They can be challenging to disconnect. I usually pinch the latch with one hand and gently try to rock it back and forth until it comes out. Yours may have a slight manufacturing defect. If so you might have to pry on the latch with a small screwdriver to get it loose. I wouldn't worry too much if you even broke/cut the latch completely off the adapter since these connectors stick in there pretty well just from the pin tension.
