The Guest account is allowed to delete only its own files - it cannot
delete any other user's files.

The Guest account is also allowed to change its own desktop background,
but it cannot change any other user's desktop background.

Disable the built-in Guest account.
Create a user account called "visitor" or something else. Don't give it
admin rights.
