Whats this about?
So you know when you join a server on Gmod and have to download all this garbage and stuff you dont want and it takes up tons of GB? Well here is the Simplest way to do it without Programs or stuff you need to Download.
The Stepz...
*NOTE* If you want to delete All Gmod Content I recommend you go to your Steam Library and Right click on Garrys Mod and Click on "Delete Local Game Content" unless if you don't want to get rid of your Addons or any other Files on Gmod.

1. Go to file explorer

2. Go into your C: Drive or whichever drive you installed Gmod onto

3. Follow this path: Program Files (x86) (If it doesnt say Program Files x86 then just go to Program Files) > Steam > SteamApps > common (For me its called Common but for some others it may be your Steam Name) > GarrysMod > garrysmod > downloads (There may be a few Downloads Folders but make sure inside the Downloads Folder there is a Folder called "server") > server

If that folder is empty, the new Gmod downloads go to garrysmod > cache > workshop.

4. Hope that wasnt too confusing, but if you got it Congrats! you found the Server Content... You'll notice that the files are not named, it is just a bunch of Numbers. A trick I do is click on the "Date Modified" Tab near the top so you can delete Old Content from when you were a Noob to new Content you accidentally Downloaded from some dumb server. You can Also Choose the "Size" Tab which shows you in order the Content that takes up the most Space to the Least.

5. Find all the Content you wanna delete and Slowly go through it and Right click on the thing you want to delete and click on "Delete". A tip is if you are looking through for Certain ones you can Press and hold CTRL to select Multiple Files but be careful when you Scroll! If you scroll while pressing CTRL you may accidentally make your Icons Larger but is easily fixable by Right Clicking on Desktop and clicking on View and you should get option for Large, Medium, and Small. Pick the one that is Suitable.

6. Last Step! Make sure you empty your Recycling Bin because it is still stored on your computer so it will still use up Space! Once your done that, Enjoy the Extra Tons of free GB
Hope this Helped!

idk but i doubt they've added anything to change it in game, i doubt you'll delete anything important its only server content that gets stored in those folders
