Really easy to fix and a lot cheaper than getting a new one.

To remove the green mildew you can use 1 part bleach to 3 parts water and gently scrub it with a sponge. Then rinse with a hose. There are also mildew removing kits on the market that you just attach to a hose and spray it on. Leave it for about 30 minutes and rinse.
Do replace the doors and replace some of the corner planks that appear to be warping or broken.
Simply brush off the roof and spray it with the mildew remover as well if you have to.
Paint the whole deck and doors with exterior paint.
Add a skirt around the bottom of the shed to a height of about 16in to 20in. There are multiple options. Some folks use horizontal vinyl siding, pressure treated lumber boards (deck), those vinyl lattice fences, bricks, faux stone.... Here's a link I found while listing the options: https://diyshedsandplans.com/shed-skirting-ideas/ Best of Luck!

Thanks so much for writing that out - very very helpful! I spent the past 20 min looking into mildew removers.. haha.

And thanks for that shed skirt website - that's very helpful as well. Gave me a few good ideas of what I can put there.
