No, the original memory allocation for a large hardcoded string in Javascript cannot be released by clearing it. Memory management in Javascript is handled automatically by the engine's garbage collector. Once a string is allocated in memory, the memory will be released when it is no longer referenced by any variable or function in the code. Clearing the string variable may remove the reference to the string, but it does not guarantee that the memory will be immediately released. It is not recommended to manually manage memory in Javascript as it may cause unexpected behavior and bugs.
