Disclosed are non-volatile memory erasure method and device for solving the problem of unnecessary time expenditure and complex process of the current erasure operation. The method comprises: after receiving an erasure instruction, performing a pre-reading verification on the target erasure area corresponding to the erasure instruction; if the pre-reading verification passes, then performing an erasure operation on the target erasure area; if not, then performing pre-programming verification on the target erasure area, and after the pre-programming verification passes, performing the erasure operation on the target erasure area. The method of the present application can eliminate the unnecessary pre-programming verification process while ensuring the target erasure area is in a full-erasure state before the erasure operation, thus saving erasure time and simplifying the erasure process.
