Is expiation for an oath due from someone who swore to delete a picture and not show it to anyone, then showed it on another occasion when the picture was sent, though he had not sworn about that occasion?

If you deleted the picture you swore to delete, then your obligation has been fulfilled, and nothing is binding upon you. This is because your oath does not include repeatedly deleting pictures in the future, unless you used wording that implies generality or repetition. No expiation is binding upon you.
