sorry that requires root

As I understand it, anything like clearing caches or wiping stats requires root, otherwise you can't access the required directories.
I may be wrong, but it makes sense that those features are locked down for unrooted users.
So i guess there's no option other than root. Thanks for the replies guys.
Hi Guys,
Without root, what is the best way to back up my Note5 to do a complete restore?
I don't find android very clever at resets and restores (its weakest point) as half the apps don't get reinstalled automatically and the settings all need re-entering manually. I've tried helium but it doesn't do a complete job of it. I also back up Nova (using its own back up). Battery isn't great at the moment so want to start with a reset.
Any other good suggestions for checking whats sucking apps? I use GSAM at the moment...
thanks
I have tried to factory reset and disable Google apps.
Can anyone help me? I don't want to root and lose warranty.

I think no way, bro...
Well, as far as I understand, Dalvik does not exist anymore as the JRM is now ART, but there might be a cache associated as well ?
Anyway, on my previous phone (S4 mini plus), I used to recovery 20% performances after cleaning cache/dalvik once a month through the embedded recovery (well my phone was also rooted but I know that this could be done with full stock).
With my XZ1 Compact, I can't boot to recovery, I believe the feature is block by Sony (damn I miss root so much).
So, is there an alternate way to clear this cache ?
I have an issue since the latest firmware update where location and timer icons do not disappear from the status bar after they have been turned off, this is annoying, I hope a cache clear could solve this...

Factory reset?
There is a handy app System UI tuner, you have to add a couple of cammands via ADB to get it to work on non-rooted. But it will get rid of unwanted icons.
Nope, the factory reset is not a solution, I just want to wipe cache, not data.
Thanks for the tool, but this wouldn't fix my issue that seem actually related to the latest firmware (I'm not looking for uninstalling apps from system).

I wasn't talking about uninstalling apps from the system
Hello there, wondering would you share it here if you did find a solution?
Thanks
I can't get into recovery mode neither on XZ1c...
I have the OnePlus 7T. Rooted with magisk.
essentially, I am wondering if I will lose root if I perform a full factory reset. sometimes I find that is the easiest way to clear from the phone. Given that it is a pain in the ass to root that phone right now without TWRP access, would it be a loss of everything if I went to perform full factory reset?
if so, any advice on exactly how to do it or any special things to look out for? Thank you

No!
Magisk performs Root based on a modification to the boot image, which is only touched if you reinstall/format /system
With a simple factory reset, you will lose only the modules, which are in an image in the folder /data, and maybe Magisk Manager does not reinstall itself automatically and you need to install manually but will not lose the root

okay thanks. Sooner otherwise you would recommend just doing a regular, simple factory reset through the settings, system, erase all data function?

I always do it through TWRP, but I don't believe this method will cause some bug

Does anyone else have any experience with this? was going to try today just terrified of losing data etc
