For removing a root commit, you simply have to remove all branches (and tags) from which it is reachable.

This can be done with git branch -D branch-name. (You will have to first check out another branch which does not refer to this root commit, since you can't remove the current branch, I think.)

If you want to retain other commits on this branch and only remove the root, git filter-branch is better, see the answer from Greg.
