The verse from Shreemad Bhagvat Gita you are referring to is BG. 18.73
अर्जुन उवाच ।
नष्टो मोहः स्मृतिर्लब्धा त्वत्प्रसादान्मयाच्युत |
स्थितोऽस्मि गतसन्देहः करिष्ये वचनं तव ॥ BG 18.73॥naṣṭo mohaḥ smṛtir labdhā tvat-prasādān mayācyuta
sthito ’smi gata-sandehaḥ kariṣye vacanaṁ tavaArjuna said: My dear Kṛṣṇa, O infallible one, my illusion is now gone. I have regained my memory by Your mercy. I am now firm and free from doubt and am prepared to act according to Your instructions.
And this is Adi Shankaracharya explaining the meaning .
73 Destroyed the delusion , and I have gained recognition through Thy grace , O Achyuta. I am firm with doubts gone. I will do thy word.
The word Nashta (नष्ट) means - Extinct ,loss, lost,null etc.
And Moha means affection ,attraction ,delusion ,illusion ,error etc. in general
