You can try "git reset HEAD~2 --hard". It should be equivalent to what you've tried. But it's worth a try – Ted Cassirer Jun 08 '17 at 11:04

If it's pushed you have to force push. But this is dangerous — so no direct paste© command line. – frlan Jun 08 '17 at 11:09

`git push --force` – hurturk Jun 08 '17 at 11:13

I wouldn't recommend deleting commits that are already pushed to a remote. This can lead to much confusion for other contributors. Therefore I'd recommend you to revert the commits locally and then push your results: git-revert Documentation.
If you need to truly delete the commits you should first do git reset --hard COMMIT has you have already done. To delete the commits on the remote you need to rewrite it's history aswell using git push --force. You can find further documentation here.
