I ran the other 2 commands and nothing seemed to be affected by them.
So, libwebkit-1.0-1 was after all not needed and has been installed previosly just as a dependency of other package/app, which you did manually uninstall recently. The "autoremove" does just that. "clean" and "autoclean" just clean the package cache (previously downloaded package files ready for installing) and other stuff (they don't do much and finish working quickly, as package manager does most of these things automatically after installing/uninstalling packages).
