You can also try the following if you don't have access to some of the functionality prescribed above (due, I believe, to older versions of software):

using (var connection = _sqlDbContext.CreatSqlConnection())
{
    using (var sqlCommand = _sqlDbContext.CreateSqlCommand())
    {
        sqlCommand.Connection = connection;
        sqlCommand.CommandText = $"DELETE FROM excludes WHERE word = @word";
        sqlCommand.Parameters.Add(
                            _sqlDbContext.CreateParameterWithValue(sqlCommand, "@word", word));
        connection.Open();
        sqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
    }
}
...

I'm an associate dev. Hence the "I believe" above.
