Stubborn tile removal

Hi there,

I’m looking for some advice on some tile I’m trying to remove. I was able to pop the tile up fairly easily, but the underlayment membrane and bonding layer is giving me trouble.

The kitchen and front hallway were very easy removal, but the bathroom and laundry room have this membrane and it’s made the removal miserable.

Any suggestions on how to get this up more easily? I’ve included a photo. I’m trying to avoid destroying the subfloor but I’m guessing anything efficient is probably going to cause some damage?

Thank you in advance for any advice!
