truthsharer, I did research on this. Sefer Ginzei Hakodesh brings down R’ Eliashiv Zt”l who said that Hashem’s name on a computer screen cannot be erased because it is an act of mechika and you are being mochek Hashem’s name. R’ Shmuel Wosner Shlita in shevet haleivi says it’s muttar min Hatorah, but because there’s a machlokes Rishonim whether Kesivas Shem Hashem Shelo Lishma can be erased, you should be machmir. R’ Moshe Shternbuch Shlita says that it’s muttar but if you want to be machmir, tavo alecha brocha. R’ Doniel Neustadt shlita says its completely muttar and it’s not considered writing.
