Hey, I've recently registered a new account, however i've had my previous account access restored and i have quite a substantial $ on them. I would like to get rid of my old account and transfer all the cash and games from it from a new one. How do i do this?

You can't. Your only option is family share between old&new account.

Imagine if scammers could not just steal your inventory but also your entire game library

i have connected the accounts to family share, but is there an option to share balance of funds? That's the only thing i am concerned so far

You can't share your Steam wallet.

You cannot transfer wallet funds.

However, you could conceivably drain those funds over time, by just gifting new games to your other account instead of buying them, until the wallet balance is used up.

Of course, the real question is, why do you want to insist on using a new account in the first place. Just keep using the one with the games and the money...

sorry to poach on this post but can I buy a gift card with my wallet balance and give that to my granddaughter?

No. That's basically transferring wallet funds to another account which has been pointed out above that it cannot be done.

no. you have to use an external payment to buy digital wallet funds for another account.
