Can't disable/remove user guest - El Capitan

I'm on a late 2013 iMac 21.5 inch El Capitan running.

I can't disable/remove a user account called. The minus sign "-" is grayed out.

It seems that this "guest user" account is also that stop me to upgrade to Sierra but that's another topic.

Thanks for any input.

I have exactly the same on all my systems regardless of the version of the OS. It's normal. This account is owned by the system, so you cannot remove it. It will affect your facility Sierra as there has been no impact on me.

    Hello

    A guest account allows people to have temporary access to your computer. People using the guest account cannot install software or hardware, change settings, or create a password.

    Once the guest account is enabled, you will see the comments folder in the users folder and you will not be able to remove it. And when also disable you the folder of comments will be present, but it will not be enough space.

    If the comments have saved any file on your computer, it will be present in the folder of comments, it won't cause damage to your other user accounts.

    For more information, see the following Microsoft article and check if that helps.

    Hello

    You can check the APEX APEX_USER_ACCESS_LOG view

    for example query below can give you all the details of the user with their last access date

    SELECT LOGIN_NAME, MAX(ACCESS_DATE) latest_access_date
    FROM  APEX_USER_ACCESS_LOG
    WHERE APPLICATION = :application_id
    GROUP BY LOGIN_NAME
    

    You can use it to allow users who have not accessed to the last X days

    WITH T AS (SELECT LOGIN_NAME, MAX(ACCESS_DATE) latest_access_date
    FROM  APEX_USER_ACCESS_LOG
    WHERE APPLICATION = :application_id
    GROUP BY LOGIN_NAME)
    SELECT T.LOGIN_NAME
    FROM T
    WHERE T.latest_access_date < TRUNC(SYSDATE) - :X
    

    You can OUTER JOIN this request with the list of users to see who has not accessed to the last x days.

    Now, you can install some jobs (using http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e40758/d_sched.htm) to see the list and disable users.

    Kind regards

  • Can not disable Streaming Media for guest account

    I've disabled the guest account on my machine to windows 7 Home premium (64-bit).  However, the guest account always appear as my Playstation 3 streaming media.  If I turn on (enable) the guest account and log in there on the computer, I can see that streaming media is indeed enabled in Advanced Network Configuration but it is not clear up to turn it off (I think because the guest account has limited administrative rights).

    I thought that disable the guest account using the configuration management screen turns off default accounts, but that is not the case for media sharing.

    Does anyone know a way to disable it manually?

    Thank you!

    I did thorough testing, but I had the first success with the following text:

    2. Delete the "Media Player" folder in c:\users\guest\appdata\local\microsoft
      (Or move it, if you want to be able to restore)
    3. Reset
