If I "kill" the file will be saved automatically?

Process open = new Process();
                    open.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Users\newText.txt";

                    open.Kill();

I know, I can try but I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet and some people will be more happy with faster answer.

What I have tried:

C#

Process open = new Process();
                    open.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Users\newText.txt";

                    open.Kill();

No. Kill does just that: terminates the thread with extreme prejudice.
It doesn't give it a chance to "tidy up" or "put it's affairs in order" - it kills it right here, right now.

It's like a sniper rifle: the victim drops where he stands, he doesn't finish his coffee, fold up the paper and settle the cafe bill first.
