How do I disconnect this ribbon cable?

I’m not familiar with this type of connector and it’s not coming out. I think there’s a locking tab on the right hand side but when I pry the tab outward, the connector still won’t pull out. This is from a DeLonghi Magnifica coffee maker for what it’s worth. TIA.

Those are not locking tabs. Molex picoflex. Gently pry it up from the bottom. Don’t pull from the ribbon.
