Use Select instead of DeleteCases and use not-equal rather than equal:
Select[list,Mod[N - m(m+1)/2,P] !== 0]

I have a list== Range[3003]  I want to delete cases of n == m(m+1) mod P
from the list, but Delete cases only deletes cases matching a pattern,
i.e.

list == DeleteCases[list,Mod[N - m(m+1)/2,P] == 0] will definitely not
work.  I want to keep list, as the same identifier, throughout since
this is within a looping process. Any suggestions?
