I had perfect lined and painted interior walls.. until I decided to
remove a few marks by sanding over them then painting. On stepping back
to inspect I saw that you can obviously see the sanded areas - they
look like big patches of scratches to the lining, which they are! Any
ideas on a quick fix?

Thanks

Re-do the sanding with progressively finer sandpaper.  Remember to take out
all the scratches produced by the previous sanding at each stage, or you
will get "Highly polished deeply scratched" as I learned as an apprentice
<mumble> years ago.

(Poly) filler and progressively finer grades of sandpaper

I forgot to say

Put the sandpaper on a block so that you sand level and flush
