DSpace has a few distinct methods for removing content from view or from discovery in the repository.
Withdraw an item: This method entail removal of an Item from the archive. However, a withdrawn item is still available to Administrative users (and may optionally be restored to the archive at a later date). A withdrawn item disappears from DSpace (except from Administrative screens).
Make an item non-discoverable (aka making it Private): A non-discoverable (or "private") item is one that is simply hidden from all search/browse/OAI results, and is therefore only accessible via direct link (or bookmark).
Delete an item: The item is permanently expunged from the archive.
See https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/DSpace+Item+State+Definitions for more detail about these different item states.
