If you erase a picture from a digital camera with a memory card...?

does it erase from the memory card too? or is it just erased from the camera? I am wondering because I want to take a memory card from my digital camera to the store but I am wondering if previously erased pictures will be visible still because they are only erased from the camera not the card.

Update:

thanks so much wisdom. I did exactly what you told me and all the pictures that needed to be there were and those that didn't need to be there were deleted.im kind of technically challenged so i didnt even know i had that memcory reader on my cpu. cool. thanks again

    If your camera has a memory card only and you've erased a picture, it is gone. It will not be there. Some digital cameras have a very small amount of internal memory and if you've erased photos from that, anything on your memory card is not affected. Check you menus and see if you have been using the internal memory card (built in) or external memory card. The sole purpose of your memory card is to store the photos you have taken. So when you erase, it is gone. If you're not certain and your computer has a card reader, put your memory card in the proper slot and any photos will come up.

    Sorry yet no there is no thank you to get well your p.c... Its a memory card so its flash memory meaning it may easily be deleted with electrical energy. in case you had a no longer ordinary rigidity you need to get well them via fact in desktops no longer something is ever incredibly deleted, its in simple terms re-written over. as quickly as you format your card for the digicam DONT EVER DO IT returned until you placed a clean memory CARD IN!!! wish that helps!
