VBA overwrite file if already exists

Question

I'd like to check if a file located in my_path exists, if it does overwrite it with a file declared "garcat" containing 1 single sheet. Creating a file for the 1st time works, however overwriting it gives me this error 1004: Method 'SaveAs' of object'_Workbook' failed

Sub FileCreate(ByVal TGName As String)

Dim garcat As Workbook

Dim file As String

file = my_path
If Dir(file) <> "" Then
    SetAttr file, vbNormal
    Kill file
    MsgBox "The file already exists, it will be replaced"

End If

Application.SheetsInNewWorkbook = 1
Set garcat = Workbooks.Add
garcat.SaveAs FileName:=file
MsgBox "File Saved"
garcat.Sheets(1).name = "GARCAT " & TGName
garcat.Close (True)

End Sub

EDIT: I set Application.DisplayAlerts = False and Application.EnableEvents = False before saving the file and I still get the pop-up error message.

This works by just telling the file to save regardless of any other factors: "And no back-talk! If there's already a file there... Just overwrite it."

    Sub FileCreate(ByVal TGName As String)

Dim garcat As Workbook

Dim chemin As String

file = my_path

Application.SheetsInNewWorkbook = 1
Set garcat = Workbooks.Add
Application.DisplayAlerts = False 
garcat.SaveAs FileName:=file
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
MsgBox "File Saved"
garcat.Sheets(1).name = "GARCAT " & TGName
garcat.Close (True)
