Why isn't this error caught?

Basic code example:
try {
  Deno.remove("fakefile");
} catch (err) {
  console.log("File doesn't exist...");
}

console.log("That file didn't exist");
try {
  Deno.remove("fakefile");
} catch (err) {
  console.log("File doesn't exist...");
}

console.log("That file didn't exist");


The output when you run this is the following:
❯ deno run -A delete.js
That file didn't exist
error: Uncaught (in promise) NotFound: No such file or directory (os error 2), remove 'fakefile'
    at async Object.remove (ext:deno_fs/30_fs.js:175:3)
❯ deno run -A delete.js
That file didn't exist
error: Uncaught (in promise) NotFound: No such file or directory (os error 2), remove 'fakefile'
    at async Object.remove (ext:deno_fs/30_fs.js:175:3)


So the code within the 
catch
catch
 statement isn't running, but the code after the catch statement is executed. And yet the program crashes due to an uncaught error.
