It's a guest account, meant for temporary use by a user who normally does not use that Mac. Files created by a guest are stored in a temporary folder, but this folder and its contents are deleted when the guest logs out.


Generally, you may be able to recover deleted files (if new data is not written over the old data) by using a specialized data recover utility. This is the type of utility used for accidentally erased files or data corruption. For example
