Using the "Synaptic Package Manager" ("Reload", "Mark All Upgrades", and  
"Apply") or 'sudo apt update' and 'sudo apt upgrade' (with four characters  
less to type and a nicer interface than 'apt-get') should do the same.  A  
third alternative is to configure the "Update Manager" to your desires and  
apply the updates when it notifies them.

You can execute 'sudo apt autoremove' and 'sudo apt autoclean' (or even 'sudo  
apt clean') from time to time.  It has little to do with "updating" your  
system.  It deals with freeing space on the system partition (removing things  
that were installed but have become useless; removing the packages that are  
usually useless once installed).
