Abstract: The invention relates to a method for managing an memory LNVM erasable by block. The method comprises an index management of the memory blocks wherein the index indicates if a block is erased (Erased) or to be erased (TBE). A memory manager performs a block erasing when the memory is not in use and a block is to be erased and when the number of erased blocks is lower than a predetermined number.
