How can we remove a value of an enumeration from being shown but still have it in the DB?
Is this possible? We are on RTC 4.0.0.1.
Thanks in advance.

as you can see from the work item customization article on jazz.net values in enumeration lists can be either removed or archived. From your description it appears you would want to archive the values from the list so they are not shown in the list but retained in the database.
Notice that the "archive" button is right above the "remove" button for values in the enumeration list wizard in the process configuration wizard as shown in the article. I did not have time to check if this is already in 4.0.0.1 but it should be.
If this is an acceptable answer please mark it as accepted :-)

Partly acceptable.
So I can archive a value in the enumeration (using my 4.0.0.1 client). I see that:
a) it is not in the list when new work items are created (good)
b) it is not in the list when an existing work item is modified (good)
c) existing work items still have the value in the field (good)
However:
1) I cannot create a query to actually "show" work items that still contain that value, I can't. Even if I use "include archived" in the attribute selection, it only shows attributes themselves that were totally archived but not individual enumeration values that were archived.
2) If I previously had a query that searched for this value, then I archived the value, it seems to get REMOVED from my query when I edit the query again.
