MATLAB: Nccreate overwrite existing file

nccreatenetcdf

How to use nccreate to create a new file clobbering any previous file with the same name?
Matlab's question-begging documentation doesn't help. Here's matlab's info on nccreate:
"If filename does not exist, then nccreate creates the file using the netcdf4_classic format."
Great, but if the filename does exist?

Have you tried this:
if exist(filename)
delete filename
end
nccreate.....
