If you have toxic mold such as the infamous black mold there is no real way to get rid of it. You have to get rid of the infected area  or move. We had a lady who had black mold in her apartment. She had to get rid of literally everything. It causes a lot of respiratory and health problems if you live in it.

Yes, I own an apartment building that had a mold problem.  I moved the tenant to another unit and paid a company that specializes in mold remediation to fix the problem. They removed drywall, repaired the water issue that contributed to the mold, sprayed a bleach solution and checked the mold spore levels over a week. Then made repairs to make the unit livable again.

Mold/Mildew Remover and Bleach in a spray container to scrub off any residue. Scrape off if its hardened and repaint if necessary.  Bleach/disinfect and dry all areas and remove/fix the cause of the molding. Long sleeves, gloves, face masks, no children or animals around. Lay Plastic sheets down if you think anything will fall off walls.
