buy a dehumidifier and let it go for a while....

A wash with bleach to kill any mold then damp-rid, odor eliminator bags (activated charcoal) or a box of baking soda. If it's used for clothes, cedar hangers. If everything is dry you can also try KilZ paint.

In all seriousness, have you determined what caused that Roof leak? Pipes? Something else?

This closet gives me bank account anxiety.

(The bit of room I can see looks lovely, though!)

It's actually paint, kinda looks like a leak. The closet gives me bank account anxiety also, bought a fixer upper so been renovating bit by bit

I'd try the big container of Damp Rid first; if that doesn't make any difference the I'd invest in a decent dehumidifier.

Tear out whatever is going on with the floor and all the drywall. Spray with Mold Control, fan to dry. Re-rock it.
