Abstract
In a nonvolatile memory array, such as a three-dimensional array of charge-storage memory cells, data is scrubbed according to a scheme which weights particular data that is exposed to potentially damaging voltages. Data that may cause damage to other data is moved to a location where such potential damage is reduced.
