So I bought Terraria from steam, and I want to send a copy to my friend for his birthday as a gift. Will doing this delete Terraria from my computer or just buy a whole new version of it for him?
- Click on Accept gift. Choose to have the option added directly to your game library or your Steam gift inventory. Select Add to my game library if you would like to install and play this game immediately. Go to your games list in Steam, highlight the game, and click install.

The main disadvantage being that if you both want to play the game, well, you can’t at the same time. Why can't I send a gift through Steam? Without steam how to play pes2016? How do I play Steam games on Linux? Can you download Steam games through Wine? How can I share my Steam games with my friend using Steam Family Sharing? My friend gifted me the starter pack through steam and i put it in my game library but it doesn't appear in my account. I have my account linked and its not in my inventory since i already put it in my games library. Its already appearing in the dlc. I can't find any fixes. My friend gifted me borderlands the game of the year edition on steam. I accept the gift but didn't not install it. I then purchased borderlands the handsome jack collection. (it already includedes everything that bordelands the game of the year has and more).

If you already have the game, then purchase your second copy by selecting the option to buy it as a gift. This will put a copy of the game in your steam inventory and will not affect your copy of the game at all. Go into your steam inventory and select the game, then select the option to send it, either through your friends list or through e-mail.

If you are purchasing from the store it will have two buttons to click on
Purchase for myself
and
Purchase as a gift
If you have already purchased it for yourself then the Purchase for myself will be grayed out and you can only purchase the game as a gift.
The game can either be sent to him via email,
Through steam as friends(No need to open a trade window, also sends by email)
Kept in your inventory (To be gifted or traded later)
You can not gift games that are in your library. You can only gift 'non-active' copies of a game. Such as a gift item in your inventory. If you don't have the game yourself yet you can 'unwrap' the gift to add it to your library but you would not be able to gift it anymore.If you have the game in your library and purchased a second copy you should be able to give it to your friend. It will not be removed from your library.

Normally you can not remove any game from your library. This functionality came recently to steam but requires you to contact the steam support.Check out this answer for more details about how to remove a game from your library (which is not what you want I suppose).
