How in the world do I remove a USB 3.0 header?!

I tried pulling it out, but i pulled the header with it, I put it back on it and it still works, how do I actually pull it out without breaking it?

Directly up (or directly away from the pins if it's a right angle type header). Best to hold down the plastic part around the header to make sure it doesn't come up. A bit like the 24pin ATX connector, it can be pretty stiff to get out, so a small amount of gentle wiggling may be needed.

if your motherboard doesn't support usb 3.0, just get an adapter, instead of tearing it out. and if you were to tear it out, it depends on the case.
