Was thinking about cutting it out but is there a better way?

It appears to be a failed tape joint, so I'd just remove the texture and repair from there.
 
Should I re-tape it or just level it with joint compound?
 
It will depend upon what you find when the texture has been removed.

You may find that the tape was not correctly embedded, or there may be a deflection in the taped joint which will result in further repairs.
