Twist off counter clockwise?

It looks like you already removed the nut holding it in place. Tap it with a hammer and it should loosen up

I have tried that, even tried too pry it off.

 

[Geofd]

Tap upward on the threaded part or grab the threaded part wit a small pipe wrench

 

[havasu]

When in doubt, cut it out!

Your assembly probably looks like this.


And it appears that someone has used a liberal amount of silicone caulk during its installation or to "repair" a leak. That drain cup may be full of silicone caulk which can be very difficult to remove.

As havasu just said, I would use a Dremel tool and cut the drain cup down one side and try to pry it off. If that wasn't successful, cut the other side and you should be able to finally pry it off. Use a utility knife, razor blade scraper, and/or Exacto knife to cut off the silicone caulk and you should be able to remove that drain.

If you have a heat gun you can heat the half that’s inside the sink if it’s siliconed or otherwise glued in. If you have a composite sink be careful,

I had one in a house I owned, while replacing the kitchen sink, found that they had GLUED the top strainer, onto the top of the sink...... I guess they wanted to make SURE they had ZERO leaks.... it was some kind of epoxy, I guess, VERY hard....
