It's your fault it's a black screen if you deleted all the files from your drive instead of just uninstalling it on here

Verify Integrity of your local game files.

Right click Garry's Mod in your Library >> Properties >> Installed Files >> Verify Integrity.
Sounds like something corrupted and this should repair the file(s).

If that does not work then do the following: Check your mods to make sure you don't have anything that would cause such an issue.
Also might be worth running "menu_cleanupgmas" in console without the quotes to purge ramnants of server downloaded addons or whatever else. Ramnants like that can introduce problems.

If you do not have a single mod that's being unstable/glitchy then try to Factory Reset Garry's Mod by going to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod" and double clicking the file named "FactoryReset-GMod.bat".

If you have went through all the steps above and the game is still acting up, try to fresh reinstall Garry's Mod. Uninstall Garry's mod via the steam library, go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common" and delete the "GarrysMod" folder. (Steam usually does not remove game files from this folder after said game(s) was uninstalled). and then reinstall Garry's Mod, wait for all your mods to download from the workshop after launching, test a map to see if the issue is somehow still present.

In this case make sure windows is up to date and make sure that your graphics driver is up to date. Stuff like this can also cause weird anomalies with games in general and usually keeping these up to date helps in preventing issues down the road.
