as it's described in here;
I installed tfs power tools 2012. I used rollback feature by selecting the changeset: thus I'm expecting to rollback to that version and it's working great. When I look at the history of the file that was rollbacked at the "Change" column it's written "edit, rollback"; which is cool.
However I cannot see "which version it has been rollback to". So before rollback I can select the version but later on when I wanted to see "which version it has been rollback to" I can't. Is there a way to find out that information?
Rollback is non destructive so rollback will undo the checkin ( change set ) and then the previous change set is checked in as a normal checkin. There is no reall reason to differentiate between a rolled back checkin and a normal one.

With VS 2019, I checked in some changes that I made to a dtsx package. The changeset history looks like below; my changeset is 4021:
Changeset Change User Date Path
4021 Edit Joe Smith 2/8/23 $/dev/ReadFile.dtsx
3816 Edit Harry Joe 9/2/22 $/dev/ReadFile.dtsx
I want to rollback to changeset 3816, but I also want to remove changeset 4021 from the History.
Is this possible? I understand that the rollback will revert ReadFile.dtsx to the changeset that I selected, but it seems that I have to check-in again, which will add another changeset.
No, you cannot delete a changeset from history*. The rollback command will reverse the change as a new checkin and History will be preserved.
'*' you might be able to if you go poking around in the TFS database, but this is dangerous and should not be attempted.
instead of making manual change for every user story, is there a way to rollback iteration path changes online tfs?
I've tried changing it manually but it is time consuming, look for rollback option.
VSTS/TFS doesn't offer a rollback feature on work items.
But you can realize a bulk edit on your work items
or use the TFS API to know the previous state of your work items
(TFS 2013 API - Retrieve all changes made for WI)
and reapply the modifications
(TFS API - Updating a work item field)
If I view the history of a single file in source control I can right hand click a change-set in the list and choose "rollback back entire change-set".
Will this rollback all the other files I checked in during that checkin or just the file I am currently viewing? If it does rollback all files is there a way to rollback just the file selected?
Thanks
As previously mentioned, rolling back the changeset rolls it back in its entirety.
Installing Team Foundation Power Tools (which I think pretty much everyone should install) gives you another option: If you want to rollback a single file, you can right click a single file in the Source Control Explorer and select Rollback...
Yes, rolling back the entire changeset will roll back all the changes in it.
However, a Rollback is not instant, when you click that option the rollback will be perform a reverse merge and leave the changes in your workspace. So you can look at them in Pending Changes.
In your case, just perform the Rollback and then undo everything except the file you actually want to Rollback.
From now on, in visual studio 2015 atleast, you can just go to source control, right click a file and choose Rollback.. This will ask you what changeset you would like to rollback for this file and it will only rollback that file.
Very simple workaround :)
1. rollback entire changeset
2. undo all file except file you actually want.
I have a file that was checked in and is part of a C# project. However, this file is incorrect and it overwrote the previous change which was correct. I need the latest change of this file to revert back to the previous changeset, and I need the previous changeset to be the latest change.
How do I do that?
You can roll back to the previous changeset. This option is only available from the commandline.
tf rollback /toversion:VersionSpec ItemSpec [/recursive] [/lock:none|checkin|checkout] [/version:versionspec] [/keepmergehistory] [/login:username,[password]] [/noprompt]
Alternatively, use Get Specific Version (check all the boxes to override the files) to get the version of the file you want, check the file out and check it back in again. When prompted to resolve merge conflicts, select use local version. This will create a new version on top of the incorrectly checked-in one.
If you install the TFS Power Tool, you can roll back the changeset. With the Power Tool installed, you can do this in the GUI. Select the changeset in a history list, and right click and select Rollback entire changeset.
Here's a nice article:

I accidentally rolled back an entire changeset. How can I undo that operation, and restore the changeset?
If you select "Rollback Entire Changeset" in TFS, it changes the local files so that the changes made in the changeset are reversed.
Since this is a local change and does not take effect until you check the changes in, you can "undo" the rollback by using "Undo pending changes" on your project. Note this will also mean any other uncommitted changes would also be lost, so use with care.
You can always "View History" and retrieve a particular Changeset...
Get the Latest version and Rollback the earlier roll-backed change set and now they get checked out and now check in the changes after required modifications.
Alternatively you can use the following command in visual studio command window:
tf rollback /changeset:changeset_number
