Lift the hard drive from the edge nearest the logic board and pull it slightly out of its recess.
The hard drive is still attached by its SATA cable; do not attempt to fully remove it from the iMac yet.

Use a spudger to disconnect the single SATA cable by prying it gently away from the hard drive.
Remove the hard drive assembly from the iMac.
