When editing a .el file from the bzr branch, I sometimes byte-compile 
it to check compilation warnings.  Since I prefer to keep the .el file
in sync with the .elc file, I delete the newly created .elc file by
hand.

So in general, I prefer to work in a directory with no .elc file.

But removing by hand is okay.
