How to remove a specific changeset in tfs2010?

I have changeset version numbers with 545, 544, 543,542.

Now, I am looking to delete the particular changeset

Disclaimer - you should never, never do this. Don't even think about it!

Background - I am trying to do a partial TFS migration, and having the most villainous time with the "TFS Integration" tool. Recently it dumped a series of wrong changesets into my destination TFS. Instead of wiping everything out and starting from scratch, I nosed around the TFS database, and came up with the following (on TFS 2013, TFS 2010 would be more or less similar I suppose):

declare @ChangeSetId int = 5735

-- Delete the actual file content first
delete from tbl_Content where ResourceId in (select ResourceId from tbl_File where FileId in (select FileId from  tbl_Version where VersionFrom = @ChangeSetId))
-- Remove the file
delete from tbl_File where FileId in (select FileId from  tbl_Version where VersionFrom = @ChangeSetId)
-- Purge the version
delete from tbl_Version where VersionFrom = @ChangeSetId
-- Destroy the changeset
delete from tbl_ChangeSet where ChangeSetId = @ChangeSetId

It is not wise to do it. It is not supported by Microsoft. Do not use it on a live production environment! Use rollback instead! But if you're desperate to wipe out a changeset, you can try this. But don't tell me you were not warned.
