Hello Guy's! :)

I am trying to find my Commander's name on the ED game directory, because I want to change my name, and can't find it in any files. Can someone tell me where to go, to erased it and pick a new one?

Forget it and anyway was able to find it, in newcomer's basic questions :D

Only way I know of is to clear your save (and lose everything, of course).

Main Menu » Options and the Clear Save option will be available.
WARNING: Selecting this will delete all in-game progress. If you choose to do this, the Create New Player screen will appear and you will be able to choose a new name.

You can't change your name, the game warns you of this when you first set up and it tells you to choose carefully. The only way to do it is to start again as a new character (clear save).

A lot of the player data is saved on Frontiers servers. There are some player files that are kept locally though, you can find them here (replace xxxx with your Windows username):
Code: 
C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous
You may have to turn on the option to view hidden items in the View menu of Explorer. The most important one that I suggest you save elsewhere as a backup is the custom key bindings file found in Options\Bindings, E: D had a habit of wiping that everytime there was a new patch. Hasn't done it lately, however it is best you save it just in case.
