I was able to resolve the issue. As you probably guessed I have a ton of tags that I really don’t need (I was going to use them for something in the future but oh well..). I just deleted all tags with 1 post assigned. I used the code below that i found in .
DELETE a,c
FROM
database.prefix_terms AS a
LEFT JOIN database.prefix_term_taxonomy AS c ON a.term_id = c.term_id
LEFT JOIN database.prefix_term_relationships AS b ON b.term_taxonomy_id = c.term_taxonomy_id
WHERE (
c.taxonomy = 'post_tag' AND
c.count = 1
)
