How do I see hidden columns in Microsoft List?

I have a Microsoft List that I need to clean up. For one thing, my Microsoft List has hidden columns that I need to either delete or unhide and rename. How do I go about seeing hidden columns? If they are hidden, it seems that there is a series of menu options I need to click on in order to see it again. How do I do that?

 

When I click on "New" to input a new row, it seems that those hidden columns are there for use. So the input of a new row does not match the default row that I see in the List.

    wm-thompson further to the answer by Kelly_Edinger, if you click one of the dropdowns in the header of your list click on Column settings then on Show/Hide columns. You then select the columns you want to see or hide.

    Click on the settings gear in the top right corner and go to List Settings. That will show all columns in the List.
