Any column can be hidden (and you seem to have done a number of them

)
Right-click on any column head: Show: <which one>

or

Preferences: Add your own Columns: <Tic> and/or <reorder>

Thanks for the reply @theducks but perhaps I didn’t work my question correctly

I do not want the converted column in the main area

My problem is, The converted>epub tag shows a number 4 beside it, yet the main area does not show any books.

I am curious where are these 4 books?

There's no way to tell that from a screenshot. Attach the metadata.db file from your calibre library if you want to know the answer to that.

Sure thing

Your db is corrupted. It has entries in that column for book ids that no longer exist in the database. You can use the library maintenance tool (click the calibre icon ont he toolbar and choose library maintenenace->rebuild) to rebuild the database from backups.
