"unlocks the working copy" means getting rid of 'command locks', i.e.
locks that are set to prevent other svn commands from interfering
(similar to thread locks).
And that's what you want. Breaking locks of user locked files is also
possible, but I don't think that's what you're looking for.

Why do you think it doesn't clean the 'command locks' when you run the
cleanup?

Pass the /breaklocks parameter, which will break all locks which were
set with the "get lock" command on files.

other parameters for the cleanup command:

/cleanup : runs cleanup
/revert : also does a revert on the wc
/delunversioned : removes all unversioned files and folders
/delignored : removes all ignored files
/refreshshell : forces a refresh of the explorer overlays
/externals : includes all externals for the specified command(s)
/breaklocks : removes all user file locks
/fixtimestamps : changes the file times according to the last-commit-date
/vacuum : removes unneeded metadata
