A block management method for managing a plurality of physical blocks of a flash memory chip is provided. The block management method includes configuring a plurality of logical addresses; mapping the logical addresses to a plurality of logical blocks; and mapping the logical blocks to the physical blocks. Additionally, the block management method also includes obtaining deleting records related to a plurality of deleted logical addresses from a host system, wherein data stored in the deleted logical addresses is recognized as invalid by the host system. And, the block management method further includes obtaining a deleted logical block, marking each of the logical addresses mapped to the deleted logical block as a bad logical address, and linking the physical block mapped to the deleted logical block to a spare area. Accordingly, the block management method can effectively prolong the lifespan of a flash memory chip.
