Hi,
It seems that you describe your needs in terms of a procedural programming
language and telling exactly what you need to do.
You need to remove all occurrences of numbers which are 1(mod 8) or 7(mod
8). (saying that you want to Keep all the remaining)
Two immediate and rather simple solutions will give you the result you need
l={3, 7, 9, 21, 43, 57, 63, 71, 75, 99};

Select[l, (Mod[#, 8] ≠ 1 && Mod[#, 8] ≠ 7) &]
or
Cases[l, x_ /; Mod[x, 8] ≠ 1 && Mod[x, 8] ≠ 7]

Good luck
yehuda
