Fossil is designed to never forget anything, not even mistakes. It's
possible to move a commit to a new branch, thereby "kind of hiding it", but
not to remove it.

To move a commit:

fossil ui
select the commit in the timeline
Find the "edit" link and click it.
Find the "Make this check-in the start of a new branch named", give it a
name, and check that checkbox.

Fossil has an option called "shunning" for removing "really bad" mistakes,
such as credentials and illegally copied materials, but that is a "nuclear
option" which can have side effects and is not intended to be used for
"honest, but harmless, mistakes".
