How to reinstall gnome classic clock in 16.04

Question

I had a problem with my menu-bar clock and date after some wrong fiddling the clock disappeared. I couldn't figure out how to reinstall it. I did see receive some suggestions, but none of them worked and after I tried them it got worse: the menu-bar disappeared completely!

One of the suggestions is "You need to reset the per-user configuration of the notification area." by David Foerster. I would like to know how to do it. BTW, I am using Gnome Classic.

Reinstalling won't help. You need to reset the per-user configuration of the notification area. — David Foerster, Aug 28 '17 at 19:31

Check clock settings and make sure you mark up show a clock in the menu bar option.

If it not editable or responsive then follow this steps .

First make sure your Ubuntu is Upgraded

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

then reinstall gnome-control-center

sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-control-center

then restart the task bar service by

sudo killall unity-panel-service

What does Unity have to do with GNOME Classic? Also, while this may answer the literal question, the question wrongly assumes that a package reinstallation will solve the underlying issue. See my comment on the question. – David Foerster Aug 28 '17 at 19:33
