Comment (by eddhurst):

 I tried swapping this to use _n() and then realised that the plugins are
 removed inline, so each error message is shown next to the plugin, rather
 than in a list at the top.

 As a result, should the translation case instead be to remove the (s)
 plural altogether and just retain this as a pure `__()` singular
 translation string?

 To illustrate: Each error will only ever appear once next to each plugin
 that fails to be deleted, so (should) output:

 `Could not fully remove the plugin hello-dolly/hello.php.`

 Rather than what would currently show:

 `Could not fully remove the plugin(s) hello-dolly/hello.php.`
