A method for managing a memory apparatus including at least one non-volatile (NV) memory element includes: recording usage information of at least one block during accessing pages of the block; and determining whether to erase a portion of the blocks according to the usage information. For example, the usage information includes a valid page count table for recording valid page counts of the blocks, respectively; and the ranking of a field of the valid page count table represents a physical block address, and the content of the field represents an associated valid page count. In another example, the usage information includes an invalid page count table for recording invalid page counts of the blocks, respectively; and the ranking of a field of the invalid page count table represents a physical block address, and the content of the field represents an associated invalid page count. |
