i think the intent of the question was more along the lines of "If a wallet is deleted then what happens to the bitcoins stored in it?"

Hi

When I send a bitcoin does all of that coin's value travel 1 for 1 or does some of it get used by the system..

Thank you..

It retains its value - if I send you 1 bitcoin you will receive 1 bitcoin.

There are some exceptions, however. Take a look at this wiki page, but basically very small transactions incur a transaction fee (this is to prevent people "spamming" the network with lots of small transactions) and also you can voluntarily pay a transaction fee as it may make your transaction be processed faster.

In the Bitcoin client, if you click on Settings->Options, you can set the transaction fee you are willing to pay. Mine is set at zero at the moment.
