Sounds about right.
Yeah the doors have always been off, but with the bottom shelves in and shoes down there theres basically no airflow when i think about it if its stuffed with shoes.
We’ll clean it up, keep the bottom shelves off, chuck out the doors (which have been sat against the wall for months now anyway) and look into a small heater to run on a timer on that side of the room

@rogan - were the doors off when it got mouldy again?
if you're over garages the floor is unlikely to be that damp.
I think the problem is simply that you have a cold outer wall so it gets damp from condensation, especially if it's a bedroom (or another room you breathe in... ). It seems unusual that it would stay damp enough to mould if it's completely uncovered, but even something like a load of shoes in front could be enough to block it from being as warm as the rest of the room / drying out. It doesn't really matter that the room is cold, what matters is the difference in temp between the wall and the rest of the room (and how much humidity is in the air).
