Accidentally overwrote a recording (in voice memos) is it possible to undo?!

Hi,

I accidentally overwrote/ recorded over a large part of a previous recording (before realizing and pausing) in voice memos; is it possible for me to undo this mistake and have the recording back in its original form?

many thanks,

Ben

Sorry, but no. When you overwrite a file the overwritten file is completely replaced, so there is nothing of it left to recover.

No. You cannot undo an overwrite.
