Hi Pavel,
trying to follow your advice "You should check so all foreign keys have an index" I look at the table where I want to delete older records:

You are probably talking about the section:

"words_games_player1_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (player1) REFERENCES words_users(uid) ON DELETE CASCADE

The first table words_boards only has 4 records, so I ignore it.

The second table words_users already has an index on the uid, because that column is the primary key:

Or do I misunderstand something?
If someone would be interested to take a look at the real database, I would anonymize it and provide download

However I understand that this is a lot to ask and am already thankful for any input :-)
Thanks
