Remove a bad commit from branch in mercurial

I've got the following problem:

I have 2 named branches which are 2 completely versions of the product (e.g A and B) than at some moment I was needed to introduce changes from A to B so I started the following command:

hg merge A

after that commit and push ... and instead of 2 branches I've got 1 that was unexpected for me since I wanted just update B with changes in A. Somehow I managed to get again 2 branches and now I want to delete last commit in branch B and cant find the best way (I'd say any way) to do it.

Thanks.

Just continue commiting to the branch that you want stil alive. There is a command to explicitely kill a branch but if you don't use it, all branches are still alive in parallel. If you don't see them it's only because the tool to see them don't show them all if they are not different, but they're still present. Just continue to work with those branches and it will be fine.

Now to remove a changeset, you "can't" as in really removing it, but you can commit an exact inverse of that specific changeset. The command to do this is backout.
