Must air from "fresh air mode"?

Must air from "fresh air mode"?
Hi,
I'm not sure what's wrong, but my vents let out musty air unless I have it on recirculated air mode. I'm not sure if these means I have to change the cabin air filter or intake air filter or something else etc etc.
Anyone know what I should do?

I'll have the AC on plus Re-circulation to make the air come out faster.
If it's not hot, i'll have everything off but re-circulation on because warm air will come through the vents inherently.
Will do!

If you run the AC and then shut the car off before turning the AC off, moisture will sit in the vents. When moisture sits, it starts to get gross. Thats why you have musky air.
So, before you shut the car off, turn off the AC and let the fans blow to dry off the moisture that developed from having your AC on.

Oh, do this top down, or you will be fumigating your interior and won't be able to drive until it dissipates.
Do the same with heater on. While there is still fumes of this stuff in the vents, switch to recirculate.
This should kill all the mold. Or at least 99.9% of it like the label says!
Install new filter. Drive. Enjoy fresh linen aroma...

24 months of driving produced this amount of dirt in the cabin filter. Surprised me as a new filter was fitted when I bought the car two years ago. $10 or so.
Never smelled musty though at any time.

interesting how the diagonal pattern from top left to bottom right forms in just 2 years. when i changed mine it was caked with debris, but more so along the diagonal.
