Ohh they can be a PITA . You may have to work the door handle on the inside a little while turning the outside just so and withdrawing. there is a slot cut in the square shaft and this needs to be in just the right place when its sits in the mechanism so withdrawing can be hard, Not easy to explain this one until you have it in your hand..

Remove the screws that hold the handle to the outside of the door. Tip the handle down to approximately the 4 o'clock position and pull outward.

Pushing in the spring loaded striker will help

...and the square shank may be stuck in the latch, so you want to be careful to not damage the latch assembly if it does not slide out readily.
