I want to roll back to a previous project version B in Eclipse when I currently have version A in my workspace because there are some mistakes in A where I simply want to go back to version B with no merging, etc. How, in EGit, do I accomplish this and get the complete version B and nothing leftover from A? Do I do a "Check out"?

If "Version A" only includes local edits that you have not commited yet, then Eclipse git checkout (aka, revert) shows how to do what you want.

If "Version A" includes one more more commits in your git history and "version B" is specific https://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/User_Guide#Resetting_your_current_HEAD explains how to do what you want.

    Yes, this worked thanks. In EGit you accomplish it by right-clicking the project ->Team->Reset. Then to overwrite everything you do a 'Hard Reset.' – CDA the Programmer Jun 17 '20 at 21:40
