I granted Twitter permission to some app which automatically followed random people and I wanted to unfollow all of them at once.

First of all, to prevent something like this happening again, review the apps you have permitted at https://twitter.com/settings/applications and remove the ones you suspect.
Login and open your following page at https://twitter.com/USERNAME/following and scroll down until you reach the people you actually followed.
Open Developer Console (Web Console in Firefox - Ctrl + Shift + K) or (Developer Tools in Chrome - Ctrl + Shift + J).
Paste the following line of code and press enter. It finds the buttons (both follow and unfollow) and clicks them one by one. Note that your browser may show an unresponsive script dialog. Choose continue.
Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("user-actions-follow-button js-follow-btn follow-button btn small small-follow-btn")).forEach((button) => {button.click()})
