The documentation actually says it WILL overwrite a file that exists, not
that it can. 'can' implies that there are times that it 'cannot'.
*public static void WriteAllText(string path, string contents)
Member of System.IO.File
Summary:
Creates a new file, writes the specified string to the file, and then closes
the file. If the target file already exists, it is overwritten.

So I guess the question is, how did it 'apparently not' in your case. It did
in all my test cases:

I stepped thru each write, and after the debug text came up, I checked the
file.
