ok, I have 2 steam accounts, one which is just mine that I only use for CS:S , the other has everything and is for the kids to play.
i got the Orange Box today, and obviously I associated it with the account the kids use.
that bit's fine.
but , on my own personal comp, which I also put orange box onto (so if the mood takes me I can sign in the other account and play TF2 you know) now I have the HL2 stuff that I installed (for using with the other account remember) showing up as 'pre-loads' in my game menu on the account that the Orange box isn't associated with.
right click gives me the option to "delete local content" , so my very simple Steam Q is: will deleting local content of all my new HL2 games on my personal acc screw up the game install for when I want to sign in to the other account and have a play??? (< all on the same comp mind)

hope that makes sense, I would normally just try and see what happens, but there are circumstances..

i would say YES

if it's all on the same computer and you would remove a particular game you don't want to see under your CS:S account but it's showing up as "pre-load," that means it has been installed but not activated.

AFAIK, that's how it works.
