I seem to have stumbled on a really excellent useful feature in qgis print composer which is to add in marker lines to line up content if you click in the x, y coordinates on the side of your layout (the parts with the measurements).

My question is, once i've used them, how to get rid of them.

The marker lines are the red lines on the image below.

    View > Clear Guides does it for you (or toggle View > Show Guides if you just want to hide them)
