Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure configure a memory sub-system controller to allow a host to deallocate data prior to folding operations. The controller generates an instruction to fold data stored in an individual portion of the set of memory components. The controller, prior to executing the instruction to fold the data stored in the individual portion of the set of memory components, transmits a communication to a host indicative of the instruction to fold the data stored in the individual portion. The controller conditions execution of the instruction to fold the data stored in the individual portion of the set of memory components based on transmission of the communication to the host.
