I honestly can't remember where I heard this (maybe it was here on CP with a mold problem I had once), so take it with a grain of salt.
If the leak was fixed and hasn't recurred and you can remove all forms of external mold (including carpet) then I think leaving the possible of mold inside the wall alone is the safest thing to do.
