Steam Account Problem

Well I hate steam, so i thought i would turn to this community before i email the valve guys. I was wondering if there is anyway to delete a steam account and all the junk associated with it (Ie. Games downloads...etc). The thing is I bought Orange box when it came out and installed it with an old steam account that i don't use any more. Recently I made a new account and of course when i tried to install orange box again it said the CD KEY was in use by another account. I heard that it costs 10 bucks to have valve transfer it. I want to know if there is another way to delete the account and the stuff its linked to, without having to break into Valve's HQ and bust up some servers lol.Thanks for any help!Steam Account Problem
That's weird; why don't you just download the game again(with the new account)?Steam Account Problem

CD Keys are associated with your Steam Account, not your computer.''Also,https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1558-QYAX-1965MERGING ACCOUNTSUnfortunately, Steam accounts can not be merged together.Per theSteam Subscriber Agreement, Steam game subscriptions / CD keys are nontransferable and cannot be reset / moved between Steam accounts..This is to prevent games from being transfered from a stolen/hacked account to a different account. I believe it also used to curb people from thinking they can cheat on VAC secured games and move the CD-key to a different account.
Yea the cheating thing seems logicalI don't want to redownload but i think i will have to...It does cost money lol thats why i didn't just do it in the first place.Maybe i will get a job at valve and eventually work my way to the servers and bust em up.... Hmmmm..... A plan for another day.Thanks for replying guys
