Windows 10: Display date and time

The Day, Date (mth/day/yr) and Time used to display on my desk top when I opened my computer, I did something wrong because it is no longer displayed. My task bar shows the date (mth/day/yr) and time but not Day, If you hoover over the date it shows the Day, I went into control panel/computer settings and clock/time and clicked on one of the tabs where it shows short date; long date etc. I tried deleting the short date info and hit apply but it wouldn't let me. How do I get back my Day, Date and Time to display again on my desktop
