If I pushed all my apps to system apps via adb(assuming that there is enough internal space) and I factory reseted it, will the apps still be there? and the system apps that i removed via titanm back up will not be there after the factory reset rite? srry if this is a noob qn. Any help would be appreciated!!
It wipes the data & cache partitions. The apps will all be there but any data/ accounts would have to be reentered.

Ok i just wanna check; that means if install a game like angry birds and play for a while and then push it to system apps via adb, after factory resetting the phone the app will still be there but the saved game data would be gone? factory resetting only wipes data and cache partitions? that means that non system apps in internal memory will be gone after factory resetting rite?? thx for time!!
So ive been on octane 3 for a while nd its starting to feel sluggish any tune up I can do without having to reflash
Clearing your cache partition and dalvik cache in CWM - along with removing unused apps is probably your only option.
Can u tell me exactly what im deleting I dont want to delete important data
just apps that youve installed that you dont use, games etc.

You need to reboot into CWM and clear cache partition, then go into advanced and clear dalvik cache, reboot phone and let sit 10 minutes to rebuild caches.
I've tried a factory data reset, rebooting, uninstalling updates, clearing cache, resetting app preferences, and nothing will work.
I'm having issues with this where it thinks ten apps are on but its only showing 9 but I can't find the app to delete its cache to reset?
Is it safe to clear the dalvik cache, & what exactly is cleared when I clear it? I know it can be cleared with the stock recovery, because I just helped a friend factory reset their phone who has the same phone as me (both unrooted Galaxy On5 with stock ROM) & I saw an option in the list in recovery.

Only cached data gets cleared, more specifically, cached data used by your system apps and services. This cached data will automatically be rebuilt when you reboot the device, you may or may not see a message saying "optimizing apps" while the device is rebuilding dalvik/ART cache during the boot process.

What I mean is do I lose anything important like settings/data within apps etc;. & is there any risk of my phone not booting properly? I have backed up what data I could. I've seen posts on quora, asking about different problems they had after clearing dalvik, including one who seemed to think their phone had died, but they all seem to involve rooted phones, because the solution given is always to flash another ROM/reboot to TWRP recovery. I was tempted to do it because I'm running out of space, & somebody online said there dalvik folder was 300MB.

No, you won't lose anything, as I said, it is only a type of temporary data, data that is used in the background while the device is running, temporary in a similar kind of way as RAM data with the exception that RAM data doesn't necessarily persist from one reboot to the other whereas cached data does persist after reboot, unless wiped, in which case, that cached data will automatically be rebuilt exactly as it Is needed when each app loads at startup on the next reboot after the wipe.
As long as you aren't wiping the system partition or the data partition, you won't lose anything. Wiping cache is nothing to sweat over, it is a very common and necessary process when making changes to your device.
Failing to wipe when making changes to the system are what causes problems, wiping is necessary to avoid having bugs and issues caused by cached data from before the changes conflicting with the changes that you made. Wiping cache then rebooting allows the device to build the cached data the way it needs to incorporate the new changes that you made.
I called samsung to ask whether they recommended clearing it & she very sternly said "we are not clearing dalvik". It made me wonder whether she simply didn't know what dalvik is, because she asked how to spell it as though she was looking it up, or if there was some other reason.

The option to wipe dalvik cache is not an option in stock recovery or any other stock or non-root, non-custom option. It is typically only an option if you have a custom recovery such as TWRP.
Only a developer or someone that is familiar with root and custom android software would be familiar with wiping dalvik cache. A standard employee of a manufacturer or customer support agent would not be familiar with wiping dalvik cache.

i flashed twrp and majisk yesterday but my apps was playing up so i did a delvick cache wipe and now my phone is no longer rooted and no longer has majisk do i need to install twrp and majisk again or just flash majisk again
When you reboot, bóth the Dalvik ( correct: ART ) cache and the System Cache are re-created. So no benefits at all.
