There's no feature on Bitcoin Core which allows you to remove some blocks safely.

From what I've read: you should just delete the last few block files in your "blocks" directory. However, when I tried this, it triggered a full download of all blocks.

Maybe that's because you deleted file which contain genesis block? IIRC Bitcoin Core would re-verify whole blockchain

I'm curious though: why do you want this, if your client is working fine?

I'm also curious, since this is clearly XY problem.
