Thank you for the quick response.

I ran the script from https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Show_database_bloat, which shows "app_event_users" table has 3751936 as wastedbytes.

"Please note that the values computed by this action are not precise, and should be used as a guideline only. Great effort was made to estimate the correct size of a table, but in the end it is only an estimate. The correct index size is even more of a guess than the correct table size, but both should give a rough idea of how bloated things are."

        Hi

        I am testing full vacuum with pg 10.10 on AWS RDS.  I noticed
        for some tables, the number of waste bytes stays at a few MB
        after I run full vacuum.  I double-checked that there are no
        long running transactions, no orphaned prepared transactions and
        no abandoned replication slots.

        Here is output from full vacuum for one of the tables:

        VACUUM(FULL, ANALYZE, VERBOSE) app_events_users
        vacuuming "app_events_users"
        "app_events_users": found 0 removable, 1198881 nonremovable row
        versions in 13369 pages
        analyzing "licensing.app_events_users"
        "app_events_users": scanned 13369 of 13369 pages, containing
        1198881 live rows and 0 dead rows; 30000 rows in sample, 1198881
        estimated total rows

        What else can prevent full vacuum from reclaiming all waste space ?

Thank you

    What "waste query" are you running? Those tend to be estimates only.
    Vacuum Full clearly did its job from that log you shared.
