A pint of Clorox in a total of a gallon of solution
with water, spritz it with a Windex-style sprayer,
give it plenty of contact time, and then remove it
with cloths with the same mixture.

And stop worrying about Stachybotrys, Aspergillus, etc.

In a property I recently purchased, while peeling back one of the bathroom
wallpaper, I found mold behind the wall paper.

Most important is to take a look at the exterior wall on the other
side from the mold. Take a look if you can see where moisture might
be getting in. Do what you can to direct water away from that wall.

This might mean extra soil to build up the ground so that water will
drain way from the house. It might mean effective gutters on that
side of the house. You might also be able to caulk and paint the
siding to further prevent moisture infiltration. After all this is
done, then it it worth it to gut the walls and bring in fans and
heaters to dry out the framing bays. Then you can feel at least
somewhat more confident the situation will not be repeated.

The molded wall is an interior wall separating the shower from the
toilet. So it is definitely moisture from the shower side. I am
riping that up anyways and redoing it all. The whole bath will be
gutted but I just did not want to risk "ripping this out and spreading
DEADLY molds all around and getting sick". If it's ok I will continue
with demo.
