I am pretty new to After Effects and was following along to a tutorial when I started tweaking the keyframes around.... and then these lines came up. Any idea what they mean, if they are an issue, and/or how to get rid of them?

    This is not a problem. These diagonal lines indicate that you have trimmed the in point of your layer adding more frames to the start.

      I find these grey lines a bit offputting visually? Any way to reset the layer to remove these lines? I have removed all keyframes and all the layers are images (not video)?

      You can set the in point to zero and move the layer manually to the position you want
