Help Apart from reset what else can I do?

What issues are you trying to fix?
The update, among other things switched from Dalvik to ART. One of the things that might cause problems if it's not already is having old precompiled executables in the Dalvik cache. At the very least you should clear both the system cache and the Dalvik cache. You can clear the system cache from stock recovery, but to clear the Dalvik cache, you'll need a custom recovery. That means rooting.
Of course a factory reset will clear all the caches and give you a solid and stable phone. Resetting isn't all that much work if you go into it with a plan.

I'm not having a lot of problems, but:
The stock keyboard is not working properly all the time.
A-volume widget does not always work properly, but it could be the widget that's at fault?
How do I delete all cache for all apps?
My mobile is not rooted, so I won't be able to delete the Dalvik cache.

From the Motorola website ...
This will remove any temporary files that may be causing the problem, but will not delete your files or settings.
1. With the phone powered off, press the VOL UP + VOL DOWN KEY together + POWER KEY .
2. The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS
3. Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to SELECT
Tip: If the device reboots, you may have waited to long to make a selection, you will need to begin the process again.
4. The device will display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress ( logo with Exclamation mark)
5. Press and hold the VOL DOWN key, then tap and release the VOL UP key.
Tip: You can try this step, holding the phone in landscape. If you are stuck on step 5, try a force reboot by pressing the power Key and Vol Down key, and start the process again.
6. The device will display additional menu options (Text will appear in BLUE)
7. Use the VOL DOWN Key to scroll to wipe cache partition and the POWER Key to SELECT this option.
8. The device will then perform the partition wipe
9. Once the Formatting is complete, press the POWER key to confirm a REBOOT
10. The device will reboot and start the normal power up sequence .
