Hope it helps.

Method 3

public function deleteByIds($categoryId, $sku)
{
    $category = $this->categoryRepository->get($categoryId);
    $product = $this->productRepository->get($sku);
    $productPositions = $category->getProductsPosition();

    $productID = $product->getId();
    if (!isset($productPositions[$productID])) {
        throw new InputException(__('Category does not contain specified product'));
    }
    $backupPosition = $productPositions[$productID];
    unset($productPositions[$productID]);

    $category->setPostedProducts($productPositions);
    try {
        $category->save();
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        echo $e->getMessage();
        exit;
        throw new CouldNotSaveException(
            __(
                'Could not save product "%product" with position %position to category %category',
                [
                    "product" => $product->getId(),
                    "position" => $backupPosition,
                    "category" => $category->getId()
                ]
            ),
            $e
        );
    }
    return true;
}

the “echo $e->getMessage();” gives you the exact error.
In my case it was “Duplication of URL key.”

So just check what error message you are getting from here….
