Aaahhh. I have a mini fridge. And i was living at my boyfriends for a while. So i unplugged it at my moms house to save energy. Come back a few months later to mold in it. I left it cracked open. I didnt even think of when the freezer defrosted. Ok point being now. Its been like 5 months. Im scared to clean it. It stinks. But. Can i still clean it. Or it is pretty much trash :(

Mould is hardly ever dangerous. Put on a pair of rubber gloves, get a nice thick cloth and soak in in some hot water with some sort of antibacterial spray or solution in it along with some bleach. Make sure to scrub all the mould away before giving it the once over one more time with fresh warm water. After its been cleaned out, slice up a fresh lemon and put in a bowl along with some cool clean water. Leave this in the fridge overnight and you should wake up to a nice clean fresh smelling fridge. It isn't worth throwing it away and wasting your money on a new one.
Boderline gave pretty good advice, except you should never mix cleaning products unless you know it's safe. Bleach and water is all you need. I suggest you use a rubber spatula instead of the cloth, so you can keep your nose out of the fridge until you get the icky parts washed away.
