Review comment:
       I believe that this is technically more performant as it does not 
generate as many additional intermediary strings like the previous version, 
which generated `"Failed to delete: "`, the string for `file` and then another 
string for the final result (without using StringBuilder).
   
   This case should generate one less string at runtime: the `file` string and 
then the templated `Failed to delete: $file`. The format string would be a 
compile time template if I'm not mistaken. Additionally, I believe the use of 
the format string is lazily evaluated (so the string won't be created if the 
exception is not thrown), but I might be mistaken on that part.
   
   Probably the best answer / tldr is that it's better because the linting 
automation enforces it currently and it brings standardization to the code base.
