When a question that is being followed is deleted, there's no apparent way to stop following it. For example, for me in the Math SE, there's the second entry below:

List of followed items showing a deleted post

When I click on that entry to see the post, there's no indication anywhere on how I may possibly unfollow it:

Deleted post being followed

If I instead click the "View More" link at the bottom of the "Followed Posts" section, I get a list of the followed posts, as shown below:

List of followed posts

Unfortunately, clicking the red "Unfollow" link here gives the following error message:

Error message when try to unfollow a deleted post

This seems like a somewhat inappropriate error message as I'm not trying to "vote" on it.

I don't see anything else to try. Is there any current way to allow us to stop following a deleted post and, if not, are there any plans to add one (e.g., perhaps allow the "Unfollow" link to work for a deleted post)?

Update: A closely related question How do I unfollow a deleted question? has been updated to ask about this same issue.

Update #2: As stated in Cannot unfollow locked post from Following tab, this has now been fixed, as I've confirmed by clicking on "Unfollow" to get the following

Deleted post now unfollowed

with the entry disappearing when I refresh the list.
