suppress
Another option. This is commonly used in the sense of suppressing the display of an item, meaning not displaying it. It depends of course on the wider context.
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "Many thanks to all. I felt that 'suppress' was the best solution here as the item was not actually hidden, but removed into a list for deleting. In other cases (e.g. a drop-down menu) 'hide' is probably the correct answer. Again, thanks to all."

sure, Display or Show vs. Hide is the standard in Win and other software, but here you could use a whole phrase, not just the sw refs. And surely the deviations cannot only be hidden but also displayed again.
