Delete file not working

Description

Hi boys and girls, I was here some time ago asking for help with an exporter I wanted to make in MaxScript.
Now this exporter is quite ready.
I must only delete the old file and write the new one.
Little trouble: the file doesn't want to move away, probably because it's still open by MaxScript (but I only read from it).
No, I tried a couple of commands to close the file without success.
Path is correct: I tried to make a lol.txt and delete it with MaxScript and it worked, so it's really the working file that produces some problem.
Any idea?
Or better, it's probably only a matter to know what the damn is the exact command to close the file :|
Thank you!

Back here boys... here is the situation:

"C:\Program Files\NeoAxis\Game\Bin\Data\Maps\NTT_TESTS\volca_test\Map.map"

This is the path with the file in the end and it is stored in variable fileNamez.

Map.map is just a text file and ONLY MaxScript opens it.

And this is the command I use to delete the file:

deleteFile fileNamez

Note that if I put in fileNamez this:

"C:\Program Files\NeoAxis\Game\Bin\Data\Maps\NTT_TESTS\volca_test\Copy of Map.map"

and try that deleteFile line again, it's working.

I am getting mad at this, there must be some bug damn hell!
