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).
