Some possibilities:

list=List["Z:XBREG","Z:XBREH","Z:XBREI","Z:ZZ6P","Z:ZZ6Q","aye"];


Select[list, FreeQ[Characters@#,{___,":",___}]&]

or

Select[list,!StringMatchQ[#,StringExpression[__,":",___] ]&]

or

Select[list,StringFreeQ[#,StringExpression[__,":",___] ]&]

or

DeleteCases[list,_?(StringMatchQ[#,StringExpression[___,":",___] ]&)]
