You mean forward slash and backslash? I.e. mod4 subsumes the Super_L
and Menu keysyms?

I tried with all three remove mappings and also with just the first two,
but in both cases nothing changed, i.e., typing Super_L (the Windows key
on my keyboard) still produced nothing in emacs-29 (non-pgtk build).
Same in Firefox. FWIW evaluating `xmodmap .Xmodmap' gives this output
(both with the lines you suggested adding and without them):
xmodmap: .Xmodmap:16: bad keysym in remove modifier list 'Caps_Lock', no corresponding keycodes
xmodmap: .Xmodmap:18: bad keysym target keysym 'Caps_Lock', no corresponding keycodes
xmodmap: .Xmodmap:49: bad keysym target keysym 'Super_L', no corresponding keycodes
xmodmap: .Xmodmap:52: bad keysym target keysym 'Menu', no corresponding keycodes
xmodmap: 4 errors encountered, aborting.
Nevertheless, only the Super_L mapping fails in emacs-29 (and Firefox).
