Still can't remove mold from walls - what am i doing wrong?

The last person who lived here clearly never bothered to remove mold from walls. For context, an old lath and plaster wall. Is there an order i should be doing this in? Any help appreciated.

Bleach is probably the problem. On painted plaster it whitens the surface so it looks gone, but the mould is still rooted underneath and it's back in a month. Use a proper mould remover or fungicidal wash, let the wall dry completely, then repaint with an anti-mould paint rather than ordinary emulsion. And if it keeps coming back in the same corner, it's condensation, not a cleaning problem - open the window after showers and cooking, keep wardrobes a few inches off cold outside walls, and get a dehumidifier if the windows are running with water every morning.
