The easiest thing to do is to have them in the query but not bring them onto the report page.  You can still reference them in the report page but you may have to select them in the properties property of the list.

The other thing to do is to use a render variable.  To do this add a boolean variable something like 2+2 = 5 which will always evaluate to false (or no).  Select the items you want to hide, in the proeprties pane select render variable and render the items you want to hide when the variable equates to yes.

Good luck

You can also change your box type to none for the columns you don't want to display in the list
