New method (Credits to iriyap)

Get a browser that lets you use the javascript console (Firefox works)
Login to Steam, open any screenshot/artwork.

Right-click and click Inspect element
Here all you need to do is click on the Console tab
Copy the following command
$J.post( 'https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/unfavorite' , { 'id' : 000000000, 'appid' : 000000, 'sessionid' : g_sessionID });
At the bottom of the Inspect element/Developer tools window, paste in the command
Replace the 'id' number, with the id of the screenshot or artwork that is stuck
Replace the appid number, with the appid of the game
Press enter, should unfavourite the image.

Different methods for getting the appid

Use store page to search for the game.
In your favourited screenshot/artwork page, use the Filter by game function (the button is below your username and the tabs for Screenshots/Artwork/Videos/etc. buttons), select the game you want to unfavourite from, and then check the url for appid
Use the element picker in the Inspect element window (button in top left corner), and select the stuck screenshot/artwork, the appid should be in the parent <a> tag of the highlighted html tag (which should be a <div>, whose parent is a <div>, whose parent is the <a> tag in question)

The 2 last methods can be useful for when the game in question is a source mod or an off-steam game.

Old method, even though the above should work.

Get a browser that lets you edit and send network requests (Firefox works)
Login to Steam, open any screenshot/artwork you don't have favorited in new tab.

Right-click and click Inspect element
Here all you need to do is click on the Network tab
Now while this tab is open, click to favorite a screenshot/artwork, and unfavorite it.
Click on the POST unfavorite
Click on Edit and Resend
Copy over all the info from the request to Notepad (all 4 text boxes)
Open the screenshot/artwork that is stuck on your favorites in new tab, copy it's ID
Replace both IDs in Notepad (also make sure the appid is correct for the game), also open the Network tool on this page
Click on any of the requests, and click Edit and Resend
Copy all the text over to the correct fields from your Notepad
Press Send

Done!

If it didn't work, you should try removing the Cookie: line completely.
