I'm glad it succeeded in booting, but I've got a couple of comments
on the commands:

You won't need both the sudo apt upgrade and the sudo apt
full-upgrade commands. You can pick one or the other. And since you
were willing to run the full-upgrade command above, I recommend that
one. Here's the difference:

* sudo apt upgrade - Upgrade all outdated packages that are currently
  installed, giving you the chance to review the changes and agree to
  them first. New packages will be installed to fulfill dependencies,
  but no packages will be removed. 

* sudo apt full-upgrade - Upgrade all outdated packages that are
  currently installed and use smart conflict resolution to remove
  currently-installed packages or add new dependencies if needed when
  intelligently handling changing dependencies with new versions of
  packages.

Also, were you prompted to reboot? If so, did you reboot before
running the sudo apt autoremove command? If not, you might want to
run through the commands one more time.
