Hi Mel Lau,
There are several ways that people have managed to kill mbeds but the flash erase limit is not something we're aware of anyone encountering yet. Yes, eventually you could wear out the flash on an mbed. I don't think that reusing the file name will make a significant difference to that. The flash should be fine for around 100,000 program/erase cycles.
