Describe the bug

Hello,

recently we tried to delete very old (3/4 old) oauth2 clients, but the DELETE request gets canceled after some time:

I asked the question on the Slack community channel. They advised me to wait for a month, because they are cleaning a db, which was likely cause of the issue, but after that time I am still unable to delete clients. Here's the URL to the thread:

Issue created as per Jonas request.

Reproducing the bug

I'm not able to provide the reproduction steps since they are really old oauth2 clients (3/4 years+). Deletion requests for the new ones works as expected.
