No, mould can not be removed with any cleaning agents if it is drywall. If your wall is plaster it can be done. However, whenever i do assessments and scopes of work I always put in drywall removal up to 2ft from the fringe. The mould will often only be harmful to you if you are immunocompromised. Keep in mind that if you see mould on the outside, there will be often times be mould growing behind the drywall on the paper backing.

fyi, use a moisture meter to ensure that the leak has been repaired.
