Default Date Format - silvo3070 - 10-05-2025

Hi, I know this will be basic.. apologies , however I'm one of those people who is non technical user and have been using LL for several years..

I just installed 7.6  

How do I change the date format from US to UK? ( I'm located in Australia)  When I installed LL I set the region to Australia.

I googled and found this   https://linuxopsys.com/change-default-date-format-in-linux

from this guidance I found that locale shows LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"

I have edited en_US file to update the formats however it has had no effect..  

The en_AU file looks fine.. however I cant see that it is being used   

Any help would be appreciated... I'm happy to re-intsall if I have to 

Thanks and kind regards
