Circle Trim problem

Dear Peoples; - I've spent way too long with this problem! - I've perused your forum and trolled thru numerous web links & YouTube vids...
Please can someone respond with (idiot proof) instruction as to how I may resolve; -
The attached file is a floorplan.
The green circle to be "trimmed" so as to describe the arc of an inward opening door,
the two green radii representing door closed (horizontal) & open (obtuse).
The blue line is solely a "construction" in my efforts to effect resolution...

So please; - how does one TRIM the lower & larger ARC to the orthogonal walls?

Sincere thanks in advance,
Bebbspoke (aka John)

Working on a circle with the trim command can be confusing, and not working in the way we wish. At certain constellations it might work, at others it doesn't. A circle has a running direction, from 0 degrees (right quadrant) counterclockwise.
It's generally easier to cut it up with Divide at the desired points and delete the unwanted part.
Or draw the arc from the onset with Curve - Center, Point, Angles.

Dellus; - my sincere thanks for your effective solution. I feel that a "warning" wrt Circle trim operations should be in the Manual as such would have saved considerable time & frustration!
Thanks again, John
