I wish that we had a way to just remove favorites when they're deleted. Like it want to have inferior images in my favorites count, which is what makes this bug prominent to me.

I think there's a feature that transfers favourites if the deleted image is parented.

... never mind, past tense.

*edit* actually, it is happening, https://e621.net/post/show/1063206 wasn't unfav'd.

You should be able to do it manually. fav:Siral_Exan status:deleted, and change the mode from "view posts" to "remove from favorites". Clicking on a thumbnail will remove the associated post from your favorites.
