    lets say websiteA.com is on websiteB.com page.

    Can websiteA.com ask websiteB.com to remove there URL from that website?

    You can always ask anyone to do anything.

    But, within the US, as long as it's a link to your homepage, the linker doesn't have to remove the link.

    What courts have enforced is a demand to remove a "deep-link" - or a link to a page not usually made public (like to a coupon page, or something similar).

    Is there some specific reason why you don't want the other website to link to you?
