Source Engine mod never works? Thread

Hi,
I am very interested in modifying half life 2 and I have watched many tutorials on how to set up and run a source mod from the "create a mod" wizard. Everything goes well, I can compile the game, It shows up in my steam library... except, It should of made a directory for the mod in the sourcemods folder. right? In the: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods. The thing is, it never does that and i cant locate any files even associated with the mod! except of course the source files you get with the create a mod. Theres no map folder for the mod, no materials, and no gameinfo.txt. All that should of been generated when i made the mod, correct? or at least when i compiled it? I cant do anything with the mod without the actual game folder itself!
I have no idea where to go from here and I am relying on your help.Thank You for reading and I hope you can help me!

Tried the VDC tutorial? Developer.valvesoftware.com

I followed this one and it set up the directories correctly.

Yeah I tried that, but i haven't tried doing it manually like it says so ill try that. Its just, when i compile the mod, it goes to no output folder, or what it seems like.
i mean, it should go to the sourcemod folder
