The relation between a contactlist and a contact is represented through the listrecipient entity. You can learn more about this in our guide, here:

To remove a contact from a list, you have two options: either DELETE this entity or unsubscribe the contact from the list. The second solution has the advantage to keep the contact's status in the list. It prevents to send unwanted emails to a contact, if for some reason you add it in the list again later.

First, do a GET request to retrieve the ID of the listrecipient entity. As described in our reference documentation, here, use the Contact and ContactsList filter. Once you have the ID, you can either run a DELETE request on it to permanently delete the contact in the list or set the IsUnsubscribed property to true to unsubscribe it.
