How to remove hard drive?

I don’t have the manual anymore for this computer, but we went with a new pc and I need to make sure our banking data, etc. is gone for good on this old Mac. I unscrewed a plate at the bottom of the unit that had 3 screws in it and all I can see is 2 thin plastic tabs that can be pulled out, but when you pull on them, nothing is moving. Can this be done? I don’t see anywhere else on the body of this where I can open anything. Thanks for any help.

Hi mayer, I may even have the wrong model, but it looks the most like the one pictured.... The EMC number is 2308. I don't see an Axxx number, but I do see the model number is A1311.

Great, thanks for that; yes, it's "that" old!

@dedou1 BTW we can probably help you get this machine running for less than $75. and probably $38.64. If you don't need it, I'm sure you know a kid that would love to have it.

@gueser Please learn to get the facts before answering.

@gueser The OP listed this as a iMac Pro to begin with. After reading his question, it was obvious that was not what he had, so I asked for his EMC #.

I then knew what he had. Your answer is totally incorrect. Now the question was about how to destroy his data on a dead machine. Your answer makes no sense in light of the actual problem and machine.

Hey thanks to both of you for your help. I got brave and took off the front glass, then got to work with all those screws. I am sitting here now with a Seagate Barracuda 500 Gbytes drive, and what looked like an SSD as well (I think that's how you say it). All the rest I poked around in and I think I got what would be potentially useful to anyone trying to access my old data. This site is great and I appreciate the quick help. Women weren't taught this stuff when I was in school!
