Delete latest iteration

We had a few parts get modified that shouldn't have been. I would like to delete the latest iteration of these Ex. A.2. Is it as easy as just going to the information page of the latest iteration and selecting delete? What are the potential problems we could see by deleting this iteration?

Or if there is something better to do then delete the iteration that would be fine too.

We are using Windchill 10.1 M040

I was able to just delete the latest iteration without any problem. I talked to a tech and he said if you get to it right away before its used its just as easy as going to the information page of the part and selecting delete. If the parts had be used in an assembly or where in users workspaces, he said it would not have been that easy. So looks like I lucked out on this one.

I don't know whether it's possible to do it in the gui but programatically one can use

VersionControlHelper.service.rollback(startpart,endpart);

where startpart is the latestiteration and endpart is the iteration one before.
