Power loss data protection in a memory sub-system

A media management operation to write data from a source block of a cache memory to a set of pages of a destination block of a storage area of a memory sub-system that is at a higher data density than the cache memory a write request to program data to a memory device of a memory sub-system is executed. An entry of a first data structure identifying a page count corresponding to the source block of the cache memory is generated. Following a determination that the data is written to the set of pages of the destination block of the storage area, the entry is updated to identify a decreased page count corresponding to the source block, where the data is erased from the source block when the decreased page count satisfies a condition. A second entry of a second data structure including information mapping a logical block to the source block of the cache memory is also updated.
