An erasing method of a memory device includes the following steps. It is determined whether a memory passes the first erasing verification operation according to the first erasing verification threshold. When the memory does not pass the first erasing verification operation, an erasing operation is performed on the memory. When the memory passes the first erasing verification operation, a flag is generated and it is determined whether the memory passes a second erasing verification operation according to the second erasing verification threshold. When the memory does not pass the second erasing verification operation, the erasing operation is performed on the memory. When the memory passes the second erasing verification operation, an over-erase correction is performed on the memory. It is determined whether there is a flag indicating that all addresses pass the first erasing verification to determine whether the memory passes the first or second erasing verification operation.
