get version before changeset TFS / VSO

I have a Developer Check in 240 files into a Changeset #300, in our VSO repo.

I have scripts to pull out files in a changeset to then deploy to different environments. so I have all the files from Changeset 300, and copied them to the server just to find out they were wrong.

FYI: part of that script is:

foreach($i in $ChangesetIDS){& "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2012 Power Tools\tfpt.exe" "getcs" "/changeset:$i"}

I need to roll back the changes made in the Changeset! But it is not like Changeset #299 has the version just before the one stored in #300.

Is there a way to only pull the files associated with Changeset #300 but from whatever the last time that file was checked in (making the assumption #300 is not always the latest version in the repository.)

Changeset #299 definitely has the version just before #300. What if you do a get at that version (which will get the file as it exists at version 299) instead of a getcs (which only gets the files changed in that changeset) – Edward Thomson
Why do you need the previous changeset? Can't you just roll back changeset 300? – Christopher Painter
Well, C300 may not be all bad. It's several hundred files after all. Rollback is just syntactical sugar, and if you want to preserve part of a changeset, the manual process might be more useful. – Edward Thomson
I currently don't deploy the entire "vault" when I move changes to QA and Training - because it is not a straight forward .net project. I only move files from C300, and if I want to undo that I would like to only pull the files from C300 but from C299 *the last version. – Don Fouts

As Christopher said above that you need to rollback changeset 300, and check in the rollback changes, let's say changeset 301. Then changeset 301 contains all files with a previous version of changeset 300.

However, changeset 300 still exists even if you roll back it. You need to destroy it if you want to delete it permanently.
