What's good way to do that?

In some cases, it is very useful to manually clear the picture(s) first, in order to preserve unnecessary memory fragmentation and speed decreasing. Otherwise, during loading new picure will be first loaded in memory - then will be free original (see TPicture.LoadFromFile code).
