Replacing Delete Methods

#### Description:

Deletion and recreation of files method within the code can be replaced with methods to overwrite the files instead "hopefully" improving performance.

#### Steps to reproduce:

Not applicable.

#### Expected behaviour:

Reduction in runtime.

#### Test file(s):

Start by locating the code paths that delete and recreate files, then inspect how those operations are used and measure their runtime. Confirm which file operations can be replaced without changing behavior, and validate completion by demonstrating the expected runtime reduction with relevant tests or benchmarks.
