It depends. How are you writing this information to an existing file?

For example, if you are copying a file:

System.IO.File.Copy(source, dest, true); // third param. tells it to overwrite

In other cases, you may need to delete the file first.

System.IO.File.Delete(file);

And there are other classes which overwrite by default.

System.IO.File.WriteAllText(path, textToWrite);
