Surgically removing commits in mercurial

I have accidentally committed multiple large data files (commits 3 and 4 in the example below) to my default branch in Mercurial and added commits on top without noticing. I want to surgically remove those commits. Fortunately, no code was touched in those commits so it should seem possible to easily remove them. I can't use Strip because it will remove all child commits too. How can I remove them?

For example, I want to remove revision 3 and 4 entirely in the screenshot below. You can find the example repository here in case it helps! Version control screenshot

  1. Rebase last two changesets into some another location, strip unwanted changesets, return wanted back into DAG
  2. Generic case for "wanted and unwanted files in old changeset": install evolve extension, uncommit files
