Thanks!!!Your device's internal storage is divided into several partitions. Most of them are restricted with system-level permissions and one is set to be the user's data partition. The installed Android operating system is on those system partitions and as a general user you only have very limited access to any of them. (Most indirectly via the Settings app.) You do have full, unfettered access to anything residing in that data partition. When you rooted your device, this gives you more ability to access the operating system.
But again, a Factory Reset only wipes that user data partition clean. It does not have any access to any of those system-level partitions and it doesn't have the ability to the alter the installed operating system either. But as you use that device more and more, you build up a lot of things in that user data partition. Config and setting files for your apps get stored there along with general files too. So doing a Factory Reset is something of a drastic measure, but it cannot restore deleted apps, it cannot change a rooted device back into a non-rooted one, nor will it return a phone that's been upgraded to a newer OS version to a previous one.
A 'Factory Reset' is something of a misnomer as implies it can magically restore a phone to its original state but that's just not reality. The 'Reset' part only refers to an established user's files and settings.
Just a suggestion but you might find installing the Titanium Backup Pro app to be helpful:

also, Root Explorer is a really good 'root required' file explorer app:

So the DEX was possibly a bad example because it's for almost everything. Bixby is the main thing that bothers me. There is no option of denying anymore, the selection stays inactive and it says it needs 'permission' for me to deny the permission?!Can you not just deny that access? Yes, I know it says that the device needs that to function, but I guarantee that it means it needs it for that app to function, so if you don't use Dex I doubt you'll notice. Mind you if you don't use it it also isn't likely to matter what permissions it has (this isn't Facebook or something like that).
Camera not working. Force stop and clear data restores function, but only for one use. Take a pic and camera stops again. Stay function off and all apps up-to-date. Where else to look?
