I added one slug and page with the same name and they worked fine, but when creating a second WP forced me to rename the page (being created after the category) with an additional "-2" how to clear the additional "-2".

if i delete the category and create new category in same name then it display as "-3"

You cannot have duplicate slugs or taxonomies, to remove the number you will need to delete them.

There is a database hack to have duplicate terms but it's probably not a great idea, Removing the number in a category slug

  • I don't know what hack you're talking about but I have a page and a post with the same slug. It can cause problems, but there is no warning ahead of time.

  • This was fixed in a more recent version of WordPress, maybe yours is outdated or it's possible you made those posts when WordPress allowed it. Also some plugins like WPML allow this.
