This is where partitioning comes in: https://github.com/keithf4/pg_partman

After that is set up, you would only need to drop the partition which
would take only a second or so. Problem is, it will probably take awhile
to get the data into a partitioned scheme.

Of course, I don't know what you mean by "lots of data". Normally, just
using a delete statement will be fine up until about 100 million rows or
so (on decent hardware).
