x = {-1.25664, 0.628319, -0.628319, 1.25664, Indeterminate, -1.25664,
   0.628319, -0.628319, 1.25664, Indeterminate, 1/3, 1/2, 1,
   ComplexInfinity, -1, -1/2};


To eliminate them


numOnly = Select[x, NumericQ]
{-1.25664, 0.628319, -0.628319,
   1.25664, -1.25664, 0.628319,
   -0.628319, 1.25664, 1/3, 1/2,
   1, -1, -(1/2)}


Alternatives:


numOnly == Cases[x, _?NumericQ] ==
 DeleteCases[x, _?(! NumericQ[#] &)] ==
 Pick[x, NumericQ[x]]


True


To replace them with 0


(# /. _?(! NumericQ[#] &) -> 0) & /@ x


{-1.25664, 0.628319, -0.628319,
   1.25664, 0, -1.25664,
   0.628319, -0.628319, 1.25664,
   0, 1/3, 1/2, 1, 0, -1, -(1/2)}
