is it an offence to delete Krishnas pictures?

I know you are not supposed to throw away papers with Krishnas picture on it like incense packages and all that.

But what about digital paintings? I mean computer files. You surely put them in the trashcan (a virtual one though)

Dont tell me you dont feel bad if you delete photos from your beloved deities.

the "deleted" files are marked by the system and put in a special place in the hard disk, so do not feel bad.
another thing is when you format the disk, but that shouldnt happen often if you use a decent operative system (read no-Windows)

But what should one do with them then?

Also, what about digital pictures that one took with a camera and printed photographs that didnt come out all that good? One has to clear them camera memory card at some point.
And what about the pictures one receives and sends in emails?

Good one... As long as you not deleting the original (which is non-different from the copy)...
