I identified through TinkerTool a user group called _guest, this "Guest" user had exclusive access to all the folders within him. In the public folder I could see a folder called "DropBox", I could not (even through TinkerTool) change user permissions to have access, but it was possible to identify that "Downloads" had 1 file.

I deactivated through the system preferences the guest user, even so while running the command "dscl .list / users" existed a Guest user. After some time the command started to appear the following error: "Can not open remote host, error: DSOpenDirServiceErr"

So I used the "ls -lha / Users /"

drwxr-xr-x 30 root wheel 960B Nov 8 13:34 ..

Now the command "dscl .list / users" has returned and the user has disappeared, even from the login area.
