Is it possible to recover copy+paste data?

AstroBenny

So I Wrote a long letter yesterday in my web browser and I copied the text so that I could paste it into a notepad document but I forgot. Since then I have used the copy function in Windows so I no longer have the letter I copied. Is there a way to find the thing I copied somewhere in Windows?

I don't like 2D games...I just couldn't get into them.. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

not really, because you overwrote the notepad where copy paste data is saved

I doubt it.

 

But you said you wrote the letter in your web browser. On which site? Because msn for example saves drafts, you might be able to recover the draft.

if you still remember where you wrote that and if you have this extension, it remembers everything you typed for over 2 weeks , and you can just go there and recover it.

It can not be recovered because the copied content is temporarily stored in the memory of a specially designated area inside the clipboard, if there is a new copy content, generally the contents of the previous copy will gone, as a trial, do not do any read or write, to download a clipboard viewer, OR Try EaseUS data recovery wizard, see if you can get it back, I wish you good luck. 

Certainly it can not be restore the file header, because you deleted the file header information, you can recover only the latter part of the file. And you sure there is no new data writting to the disk before recovery  , if it has overwritten, may have been covering this part of the original, and this is not restored.
