How to remove cheats!

Is there anyway to remove the cheat database from my phone?

I tried searching for the word "cheat" In the drastic folder and deleted everything that had the word cheat in it, but to no avail.

I know there is an option in settings which allows me to disable cheats, but it's too easy to reactivate. And I find myself constantly reactivateing it and cheating.

I do understand I have no self-restraint, to make it worse, I'm the kind of guy who plucks out his ' key and fills it in with superglue so he can't use the console on games like Skyrim and fallout 4.

Anyways back on topic I find myself playing on the Chinese version of drastic a whole lot more than the Google play one because it has no cheats. I've been using drastic for years (bought it when it was still 7.99) so I can navigate the settings despite not speaking Chinese.

PS (Though the Chinese drastic seems to be free on the Baidu app store my apologies if I must pay for it some how, I have not found a way)

You can delete usrcheat.dat to get rid of the cheat database. It's either in /sdcard/drastic or /Android/data/com.dsemu.drastic, depending on your configuration (you can check both)

The app will actually restore 'usrcheat.dat' if it's deleted, so you would have to create an empty 'usrcheat.dat' file.
The Chinese version has cheats, too, but it has a Chinese 'usrcheat.dat'.
You could also copy that one from the 'DraSticCN' folder to the 'DraStic' folder instead of using an empty file.

Thank you exophase, but like lordus said if I deleted the usrcheat.dat it would always reappear, how ever copying the Chinese one fixed this.

Maybe the Chinese drastic has cheats, but it doesn't have it for Pokémon black 2, which is good enough for me. And even if it did, I wouldn't know how to use it.

Thank you very much for your quick reply guys.
I may be a lurker but I really appreciate your effort guys. You guys answered a lot of questions I never needed to ask, for me that's A class moderation and support.
