Understanding Steam Account

[xXHowlett_FangXx]

So I have 3 different usernames under the same email,
This account and 2 other accounts (no I won't share them smartalecks 😂)

Anyway, the other 2 accounts are empty, nothing on them at all no card info, no games, no data of any kind.
I wish to delete those other 2 accounts but I don't want to accidentally delete this one in the process and lose everything I have.

I know how to reach the Delete my Account button
And it says "Learn more about permanently deleting your account and associated information" and then when you click in it gives you some information but it does not specify if it will delete everything related to that email or that one specific account.

I apologize if this is a repeat post or seems kind of stupid but I value both my time and money and as stated above I simply do not want to lose everything I have based on unclear information.


I think Valve should be a little more specific about exactly how that function works to give confidence and account empowerment to their users in that regard.

I assume you mean account name when referring to usernames.

If the answer is yes, log in to the correct (empty) account and proceed with deletion. Rinse and repeat for the 2nd (empty) account. Note: There is a 30 day grace period so you can change your mind.

The email address while linked to one or more accounts has zero relevance as you are requesting deletion of a "specific" account and that is done via the actual account name.

Thank you very much.
I probably did mean account name because I have always referred to my log in information as "Username and Password" it's what I have always known so that's kinda just how I do it now and the name everyone else sees is my Display name. But yeah anyway I was just making sure that if I deleted those other two dead accounts I wouldn't also delete this one here too and it seems that I won't.

You answered my question thanks 😊
