Replace or Delete specific symbols from text file without RegEx in Python

I want to replace or delete specific symbols like "" or '' from my text file. I have a little script that open a specific path with Example.txt file. Also, I replace \n to white space. When I put .replace('""','') not works.

My output is:

"Ejemplo, hagsvdjbnls jhsbdjw wkednslwe,dcjbek uisidn ckwdnlnkw bwuedhlwe qkjwb" kjwbdkw. " kjwebdsklwe d" kqjwndlkw w" kjwebdlkw d"kwjbdwekne , ahjvduins¢ &&&&& "" qkjbdnlkqw"""

My code is:

# coding=utf-8
import csv

def scan_folder():
    file_path = '/Users/.../Example.txt'
    with open('Example.csv', 'w') as csvFile:
        mensaje = open(file_path).read()
        mensaje = mensaje.replace("\n", "").replace('""', '')

        csvData = [mensaje]
        csvData = [str(data).replace('\n', '').replace('\r', '') for data in csvData]
        writer = csv.writer(csvFile, delimiter=';')
        writer.writerow(csvData)
scan_folder()

As you can see finally I write in a csv the output. Also I want that my output to be the same without " " or/and &&.

Ejemplo, hagsvdjbnls jhsbdjw wkednslwe,dcjbek uisidn ckwdnlnkw bwuedhlwe qkjwb kjwbdkw. kjwebdsklwe d kqjwndlkw w kjwebdlkw dkwjbdwekne , ahjvduins¢ qkjbdnlkqw

Use str.replace('"', "")

Ex:

s = '''"Ejemplo, hagsvdjbnls jhsbdjw wkednslwe,dcjbek uisidn ckwdnlnkw bwuedhlwe qkjwb" kjwbdkw. " kjwebdsklwe d" kqjwndlkw w" kjwebdlkw d"kwjbdwekne , ahjvduins¢ &&&&& "" qkjbdnlkqw"""'''
print(s.replace('"', "").replace('&', ""))

Output:

Ejemplo, hagsvdjbnls jhsbdjw wkednslwe,dcjbek uisidn ckwdnlnkw bwuedhlwe qkjwb kjwbdkw.  kjwebdsklwe d kqjwndlkw w kjwebdlkw dkwjbdwekne , ahjvduins¢   qkjbdnlkqw

Yes, the answer is only to do a correct .replace('"', '') and also the same for '&' this specific symbol.

csvData = [str(data).replace('\n', '').replace('\r', '').replace('"', '').replace('&', '') for data in csvData]
