I have removed the "guest user" account by: System Preferences → Users & groups → Guest User → Remove.
It still remains as an option under users (but states disabled).
It still shows up on login screen and if selected allows guest to logon to computer.
How do I remove guest login completely so that is is not even an option at login?

How to disable that “Guest User” from appearing at the OS X login screen
For modern versions of OS X, disabling Guest account is done as follows:
(I have provided a screenshot from El Capitan, but Yosemite is very similar)
Open System Preferences
Go to “Users & Groups” and click the unlock icon
Click on “Guest User”
Uncheck the box for ‘Allow guests to log in to this computer’
The key here is everything must be disabled. Once you completely disable the account, it will no longer show up on the login screen.
If you have older versions of OS X, follow the instructions below:
