How does one get rid of that weird dark cloud?

I think its blinding me and you can not do anything while standing inside!
What are easy ways other than moving out of it, to get rid of it? And what spell is it actually?

I believe that's the spell "darkness," and yes, it does blind characters within it:

Darkvision won't let you see through magical darkness; only a handful of abilities let a character see normally in it.

The spell "daylight" can dispel it:

Alternatively, if you know who cast it, damaging that character or creature may cause them to lose concentration on the spell. Killing them definitely will.

You can also knock them prone (unless they are immune to it) by throwing them (with enough strength) / using tripping attack (battlemaster maneuver) / using certain spells, or use fleet storm (guaranteed to lose concentration).
Also, you can shoot through or into darkness, but if your target is not within it, you can try to avoid it.

Interestingly enough, it can be used as a defensive spell. By enshrouding your party in darkness, most enemies will have to engage you in melee combat. You can't see out, but they can't see in, either. There is at least one specific battle where that property really comes in handy.
