Why does GMod immidiately load a background map when it starts up?

I have garry's mod 10 (legit, from steam.) Works perfect. But, since accidental installing the joutomaa hl2 mod in the gmod/gmod folder (a stupid thing to do) every time the main menu loads, the damned thing loads a map, which seems to be the first background in hl2.

I have tried going through the files that were in joutomaa, like the gameinfo.txt, to see if I overwrote the gmod version of the file (a command inside which, on menu load, changes the map to background??) but nothing fixed it.

Which file is the problem, what command line am i looking for and how do I fix it?

I have a slow computer takes about 5 mins to load maps, so this is adding 5 minutes onto the time it takes me to start gmod, which is NOT good.

And please, no nonsense answers like "poop" or "fish", please try answering the question.

Update:

Before I forget, just for those who misunderstand, i mean that it loads the normal gmod BG first, and as soon as that finishes, loads the HL2 one.

Just don't tell me "thats natural/supposed to happen" cause it's not.

Update 2:

This is not a question about how to speed it up. Ergo, i won't be deleting n reinstalling with my crappy internet speed.

Although I did try that, and tell you all: if this happens to you, reinstall does zilch.

Well, for me. Sorry if i sound rude.

Update 3:

I suppose I had that coming to me, ashkun. Blargh. At the very least, does anyone know how to make it stop loading maps, lets say within "x" seconds of starting up? like a lua text or something?? or a fix for this???

    Have you tried deleting your Garrys Mod and starting again, I had to do that as my folder grew too big and took 10mins to load one map. Its worth taking out things you don't use to streamline it. Garrysmod has a habit of loading everything you own on start up.
