Here is one idea. The "Or" character | is above the \ key on my keyboard.
v = {{1, 6, 7}, ...your data..{1, 2, 7}};
DeleteCases[v, {1 | 9 | 3,___}]
{{2, 5, 6}, {2, 9, 11},
{2, 10, 11}, {5, 8, 11},
{7, 8, 9}, {2, 5, 12},
{2, 6, 10}, {2, 10, 11},
{6, 10, 12}, {2, 5, 12}}

DeleteCases[v, {___, _?EvenQ, ___}]
{{3, 5, 9}, {3, 7, 9}, {3, 7, 9}}
