Right click on the columns (below the toolbar), select "Columns..."  
and add a colum called "Tags", with the value "%\_tag%".

PS: Suggestion: I think the tags column should be enabled by default  
(can't remember exactly, it isn't, is it ?).

Use this to remove entire tag version(s) (ID3v1,ID3v2 and APE):  
Remove tag: hotkey [Ctrl + R]  
This function removes the tags specified at Options \> Tags from the selected files.

Or use Tags...: hotkey [Alt + T]  
to remove tags inside tag version (ID3v1,ID3v2 and APE).
