    Hello,

    There is often a small tab that keeps the plug in place; you need to push it down to remove the plug.

    Afterwards, why remove the cable? You could leave it for the next use.

      Hello,

      some wall sockets are poorly designed, and when the plug is inserted, the lever doesn’t extend far enough to be actuated and unlocked.

      Introducing a thin screwdriver or a sharp knife tip can help.

      Some male plugs with a protection cover that is too rigid also prevent maneuvering the lever.

      If I send this message, it means that when I press it while pulling the cable, it doesn't work.

        Maybe you're not pressing hard enough, try using a sharp tool.

        Or even better, a long nose pliers.
