I would've suggested trying to copy the backup you see in root browser to the external sd, you mentioned you installed to stock slot and wiped and every now and then ss does that, sometimes it erases your internal sd and maybe what you see in root browser are the "corpse" of the backup you made. Try to get an ex sd will save you a lot of headache in the future.

I have rooted and cycled through a few custom roms. I have been on cm10.1 since early december and feel like i have lots of my apps in 2 or 3 different places on the memory. How do I know what is current and what is old unused info. I would be willing to do a fun system reset if i knew it would get rid of all the extra junk i have know but even when i have done that in the past it seems like there is still stuff i installed in the memory

You can factory reset somewhere in the settings menu, or if you have installed cwn you can delete everything within that and install a new rom via odin.

To get rid of everything, you'll have to format you internal sd card and do a factory reset. Then flash the stock rom with Odin. What recovery are you using?

Depends on what you mean by not messing anything up. If you want your phone to be like new and you're willing to odin or recovery a new Rom, then yes. If you want existing stuff to run correctly, then no

You could format /system, format /sdcard, do a system wipe, wipe dalvik cache and then flash your rom from with the zip with sideload (on ADB), assuming you have all your personal files and apps backed up.

Yes, it should work!
Please I need some help! I just got a Note 3 today (I had a Note 3 when it first came out) and installed safestrap to it. I put a rom on my 64gb card and backed up the stock rom and then wiped all data, system, cache, etc. and when I tried to flash the rom it failed. I tried to do my restore and that failed also. I rebooted to recovery from safestrap and it went to the factory recovery. When I try to reboot the phone it just sits at the Samsung screen with the custom and lock icon. I don't know what to do. I think its the 64gb card that wouldn't allow the rom to be flashed or the restore to work. Is there an odin back to mj5? I think it's the only thing I can do.

I was able to restore to mj5. Do you know if there is a problem with 64gb sdhc 10 micro sd cards or flashing roms to the stock rom slot?
Flash from the internal. Report back

After a lot of playing around I think it is safer to use a 32GB for flashing or internal. Sometimes recovery doesn't play nice with a 64GB.
i would always recommend flashing from the internal with safestrap. just seems to be more stable. keep the file on your Ext for safe keeping but copy it to your internal for flashabilty<<<

Yes, unlock the bootloader and root.

My apologies, just realized you wrote NON rooted. Only way is to root, that I know of. You have the Dev Edition... you're good!

Without rooting, you can't modify /system or things under it.
If you have the Dev Edition, you can unlock your bootloader, without voiding the warranty, by requesting the code from Moto and easily root.
I have major battery issues that I was trying to figure out but I guess I will root and flash a custom rom. Where do you put the ROM since there is no external SD? Sorry. First time with a phone with no SD card

It's a strange feeling, isn't it?
Nonetheless, you can navigate to any arbitrary location on your built-in storage from within TWRP. I think I dumped it into whatever directory popped up when I connected to my PC as I was copying files over.

So upon a wipe in twrp before flashing a ROM this data will not be wiped?

I installed Eclipse. Don't wipe any sections you don't need to (I did and got into trouble). Wipe Data and do a factory reset. I chose to wipe more and had to adb the .zip down again.
I believe that means the data you have stored on the simulated sdcard directory doesn't get wiped with a wipe of "data".
That was my question. Stuff in the 0 folder won't be affected by a wipe

I don't have my phone in front of me right now, but whatever the default wipe is in TWRP (I can't remember if they call 'factory reset' or just 'wipe data') will leave the 0 folder untouched, yes.
Doing a format of /data is what you definitely never want to do as that will wipe your 'internal storage' (i.e. 0 folder)

Installing a custom ROM will do nothing if you install the same apps. There are plenty of apps and methods to determine the cause of your battery issues.
What have you done so far in and attempt to diagnose the cause?
I have searched all over and not really found any fixes for this, if I missed it can someone post a link. Every time I get to the recovery page and do a backup it starts and then just says "failed". It creates a folder also, I just can't figure out how to get the backup to finish successfully.

Try using enable compression.
I have tried that, same thing happens. I have also tried backing up to my internal SD card and ext SD card. Both have plenty of free space.

I have the same problem... I would like to know as well.
I was able to back up the system alone. I tried Data alone and same failed message. I mainly just want to know if need to restore from a custom ROM do I need both or will the system part be enough?
