Open the door a ways so you can grip both sides of the door.
Lift up… this takes some muscle. While the door is raised, tilt the bottom of the door back toward you, up and over the tracks. Pull the door the rest of the way out. Reverse the process to install.

It should just lift up and pull out, from inside. depending on what size, you may need 2 people. Also depends on what sort of weather stripping you have, some you don’t have to take door out, just unscrew.

Grab both side push up into the track and pull bottom outward it should come out.

As some have suggested it may just lift out of the tracks. Some are secure doors and have a means of preventing them being lifted out of the tracks. You will have to have a good look at the door to see what type it is.

actually most modern doors have a strip with screws along the top inside,this is to prevent merely lifting it out as burglars used to know this trick all too well,if your door is a good one you’ll have to take off that top strip

open the slider door half way. that will be the loosest point. you should be able to lift it upward and slip it out from the track at that point. install it in the reverse order. good luck

USE CAUTION, all are correct but when you bring it back to you you will be off balance and the weight will be pulling away from you. Not a good combination of events. Have someone on the other side the first time you d it.
