I use Ditto.  It's open source (free) and runs automatically.

I had copied a text and pasted it and copied something else.

Now, I need the text back. I do not have any clipboard management tool installed on my PC. I have not copied anything else, or shut down my PC after that. (been only a few minutes ago before this post).

Is there any way to recover it? I believe the computer remembers everything (even it has deleted items), so I suppose there must be a way to recover it?

Thanks

Nope. The clipboard will only hold one thing at a time. New items will permanently erase the clipboard -- there is no way to get the previous item back.

It's held in RAM memory - there is no file trace at all.  Sorry man.  Sad

Dang! I will download a clipboard manager then. Sad

Don't want it to happen again.
