Accidentally committed a large amount of raw data in Mercurial, how do I keep it from overloading my bitbucket repository?

I copied a large amount of data from my labs file server to my laptop, then accidentally committed it to the Mercurial repository I\'m using to back up my thesis.

In case the changes are already pushed to BitBucket, it does offer an option to strip changesets from the server. After performing the strip locally, you should access the url:

https://bitbucket.org///admin/strip

It'll offer an option to strip all changes following a specific commit.

NOTE: There used to be a link to reach that URL in the repo config menu. Now the only way to access it seems to be typing it directly.
