hg strip is what you are looking for. It's analogous of git reset if you familiar with git.

Use console:

1. You need to know the revision number. hg log -l 10. This command shows the last 10 commits. Find commit you are looking for. You need 4 digit number from changeset line changeset: 5888:ba6205914681

2. Then hg strip -r 5888 --keep. This removes the record of the commit but keeps all files modified and then you could recommit them. (if you want to delete files to just remove --keep hg strip -r 5888
