How to delete guest user

I am trying to save space on my hd and would like to delete the guest user ? is it possible ? is it safe ?

The guest user account's settings and saved files are automatically deleted when the account is logged out. This is intentional so the account does not accumulate space like other user accounts. The account should only be a collection of folders and be only a few MB in size when logged out. You can technically delete the account entry in the system's directory, but this is not recommended. Instead, simply disable it in the Users & Groups system preferences by selecting it and unchecking the options to allow guests to log into the system.

  • How to delete Guest User Account

    I just got my Mac book Pro and I'm new to Mac. I created a Guest User Account and now I want to delete it. But the - (minus) option is grey out. How can I delete the Guest User Account? I have two accounts listed right now. The Admin and the Guest Account. Thanks for your help.
    p.s. I just found out I couldn't even open the folders under the Guest directory! How come? I am the Admin and should be able to do that. What did I do wrong? Help!!!

    I should also say that sometime in the future you might have a problem with something, and one of the first things you should test is, do you have the same problem in another account, so having a Guest Account is a good thing.
    You just log in as Guest and test to see if you have the same problem. So it might be a good idea to leave it active, for it takes up very little space. I always have more than one Account, and this new Guest Account sounds good to me, I like the idea that everything is deleted after log off.

  • How to delete a user in SAP-CPS Version 7.0

    Hello,
    I created my users via UME ( User Management Engine of Java Application server). Unfortunately I used the wrong name convention, so I had to recreate all the users in UME. Afterwards I delete all wrong users in UME.
    Than I tried to login with my new user in SAP-CPS (users are normally created in SAP-CPS during first login) but I get the error message that I reached the maximum number of 10 users allowed in the basic version. No problem I thougt, I simply delete the wrong ones in SAP-CPS. But I do not know how to delete a user! I could not find any menu item or any describtion in the manualls how to delete an user in SAP-CPS.
    I remove the users from any Isolation group, I disabled all the users but still I could not find any way to delete them.
    Has any body a hint for mor.
    Kind regards

  • How to reset guest user

    Hi,
    I'm new to lion. I tried to manipulate the guest user account so it would function as a guest user (deleting all the private stuff after log out) but keeping my preferences like dock, desktop, grid settings, ...
    I used this link: http://www.michaelsmac.com/modules.php?file=article&name=News&sid=394
    but something went wrong. (Later I discovered this was posted prior to Lion so this could be the problem)
    The result is that on start up of the user account it also shows my terminal open and the last webpage I visited (the link above).
    Quiting these and log out/ log in again does not resolve this problem.
    I did the backup like sugested in the link but I'm not able to use it
    I can see it in system/library/
    Anyone can help me on how to recover the original guest settings without having to reinstall the complete OSX ?
    Many thanks !

    Why can't you use the "backup" as suggested?
    The second and third lines of the recovery hint will likely need sudo appended in front of the commands.

  • How to delete a user account??

    I made a account to let my guest use it but now I don't want it there anymore. It has the standard user preferences and I don't know how to delete it. Can someone please help me? Thanks

    Open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, unlock the pane, and click on it. If it’s not a guest user, press the - button. If it is, uncheck the box to allow guests to log in.

  • How to delete existing user and create the account

    Hi All,
    How to delete the existing user and does not loose the shopping cart link, confirmations for etc and then create back the account for the user?
    Please tell me the steps.
    Thank you.

    How to delete the existing user and does not loose the shopping cart link, confirmations for etc and then create back the account for the user?
    I believe you can not delete the user 100% fully since all documents must be closed before.since it had a relation in crmd_partner table. However it has links with business objects..
    Copied from forum threads.. for your reference..
    Note 1148837 - SRM user cannot be deleted
    in consulting note 550071
    Q8. What happens if I delete the user who has created the shopping cart
    A8. If the user is deleted, and the shoping cart exists in the application, then the shooping cart cannot be displayed. If you want to view/ process those shopping carts, then you have to create a dummy user and retrieve the document. In CRMD_PARTNER table, the old user GUID should be replaced with the new user GUID.
    User deleted from SRM, deletion of SC not possible
    if you have a central recipient cancel them with that role or as advised by akash cancel from r/3.
    discussions are welcome..
    regards

  • How to retrieve guest user account backup

    I have an iMac and a time capsule.  A large number of pictures were loaded into I Photo in the guest account of my iMac.  I cannot now find these pictures as I understand that guest accounts are wiped clean each time the guest account is lodged out from.
    Given that we did not log out from the quest account for a couple of days, i am hopeful that the guest account was backed up by time capsule.  I cannot find the guest account on the backed up time capsule.  Does anyone have any suggestions whether TC backs up the guest account and if so, how can I locate it in TC.
    Thanks very much.  David

    Did you have the main account logged in as well as guest at the time? Do you have TM setup in the guest account?
    It is very unlikely TM backed it up. If it did simply mount the sparsebundle in finder and go through all the folders until you find the guest user account and check if there is anything there. If not sorry it was never backed up.
    The only solution I can see if to use a recovery software for the camera. Whatever source of the photos was.. stop using the memory card in that camera now.. use the recovery software as the files will be there until overwritten for the next lot of pictures.
    Pondini has all the info for recovery of files from TM.
    See Q15 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    There is a section for iphoto.. but IMHO it won't be backed up.

  • How to delete another user?

    Could anyone please tell me how I can delete a user of my shared library? If I locate the itunes folder on my pc, and just delete their folder, music in my itunes ends up with a broken/missing file?
    Regards.

    Hi Chris. I've got 1 pc to share with 2 ipods. I hold shift and click on itunes to select which library I want to use.
    I want to delete the other user because when I add music to my library, it does not go into the other persons library. I didn't notice this until I added over 2000 more songs to my library! I think it would be too much hassle trying to find which songs are missing from the 2nd library. I then created another library for the other user and just dragged all of my itunes songs into their library.
    I then deleted the first folder I made for them, but then the dreaded '!' appeared in my library. I restored the folder from my bin and this fixed the ! problem. I'm just stuck with a folder in my itunes folder, which I don't need any more> Hope that makes sense!!!
