Delete Cheats Menu in GTA IV: Not Possible, But You Can Disable It

You cannot delete the cheats menu from GTA IV—it's part of the game code. However, you can disable cheats in settings to hide the menu and prevent accidental activation.

How to Disable Cheats in GTA IV

1. Open the Options menu (Pause → Options).
2. Select Gameplay.
3. Find Enable Cheats (or "Cheats" toggle).
4. Set to Off.

This hides the cheats menu from the phone interface. Toggle back to On to re-enable.

Important Notes

• Cheats Disable Achievements/Trophies: Activating any cheat permanently disables them on that save file (even if later disabled).
• Save File Flag: Once a cheat is used, the save is marked—disabling the menu doesn't undo this.
• PC Version: Trainers/mods bypass this menu entirely—same achievement consequences.

If you want a clean playthrough for achievements, never enable cheats. If you want chaos, embrace it on a separate save.
