Windows 10: Where is the data stored for the new Clipboard?

I have been trying for a while now to locate where these items are being stored with no luck. Thanks in advance for your help!

Windows 10 Enterprise 1809

Lost on clipboard

The contents of the clipboard is held in volatile memory (RAM). In Windows 10 it is possible to activate the clipboard history mechanism. AFAIK, there is no such facility in Windows 7. What you copy there is permanently lost when logging off or when copying
new data.

The process you describe does not quite sound right. I repeated your steps and found that the marked items did NOT disappear from my camera card until I had successfully pasted them into their destination folder.

Regardless of this, using Cut/Paste is high-risk stuff. When manipulating files it is essential to first complete the copy process, check it, and only then delete the source files. I take an extra step like so:

1. I create the folder "Processed" on my SD card.
2. I copy all pictures to my hard disk.
3. I move all pictures into the "Processed" folder.
4. Next time I need to fetch pictures, I delete the "Processed" folder and create a new one.

In this way I have a copy of the original pictures which I might need in case my editing efforts go wrong.

 

Where is the Clipboard?

The clipboard is not something you can find. It is (at least on the windows phone) an inaccessible part of the phone, where your last copied text is stored.



This is how it works.

• You highlight a text, and say COPY.
• the phone OS puts information in the CLIPBOARD.
• You go another area where text can be input and tap PASTE. Whatever information is in the CLIPBOARD gets pasted.

 

Clipboard

Clipboard viewer is not available in Windows 10. You will have to download a third-party program to view or manage Clipboard data.

Here is one:
