Remove some files from past commits in Hg

I have some audio files (for testing purposes) in my project and I thought it's more convenient for other teammates if I just include them in the Hg repo. After pushing to the server, I find them taking too much space and time to download. Is there anyway to remove those files? Thanks.

For a general overview about changing the history in Mercurial, see Editing History in the Mercurial wiki.

The fact that you have already pushed to the server makes the whole thing a bit more complicated (the problem would be easier to solve if the changes were in your local repository only).

You can use the Mercurial Queues extension to really remove the changes from the history.
