Abstract
Various examples are directed to memory systems comprising a component and a processing device. The memory system may comprise a plurality of blocks. A first portion of the plurality of blocks may be retired and a second portion of the plurality of blocks may be unretired. The processing device receives a sanitize operation for the plurality of blocks. The processing device initiates a first erase cycle at a first retired block of the plurality of blocks. The processing device determines that the first erase cycle was not successful and sets an erase indicator to false.
