Why would any files be in a "steamapps" folder? An HLDS server installed via SteamCMD should not be mixed with any of the files that are installed by Steam or any of the game clients. Make sure you run SteamCMD so that it install the new HLDS server into a completely empty, new somewhere on your hard drive away from any normal Steam files.

Also, I'm not sure if it's still a thing or if it's a thing on Windows but there has been issues with files not being downloaded on the first attempt to install a server. Run the install command several times, until it stops downloading files.

Also, make sure that the server can run before you do ANYTHING to the server. Do not install MetaMod or AMX Mod X until you know the server will run on its own.
