Git hard reset just move HEAD

I'm trying to remove 5 published commit from my git doing a hard reset to my specific commit.

The thing is that Sourcetree warns me, but it just move the HEAD.

So, basically, if I pull changes again, I recover my changes.

Also, I can't make changes, because I would have to pull changes first.

This is agains what I believed about hard reset; I thought it was the only "destructive" operation in Git.

Is there an alternative to this?

If you want to destroy things about the upstream repository, you need to run git push -f to make its branch point to a different commit.

Beware that that will break anyone else who pulls.
