What it does is delete the game file. This is good if you want to remove evidence of cheating or if you want to resell the game. I do it whenever I start a new game, just because.
But what if your game got really ****ed up by gameshark? I had a rom that froze everytime I got to the title screen. It started happening after I cheated for Deoxys and missingno appeared instead. I will never cheat again. (j/k)
