Deleting usergroups will cause you more troubles than not and is not recommended at all. Especially the Guest usergroup. Why do you need to delete the usergroups? The Guest group is self-explanatory as to why it's needed - without it, what would your site visitors be classed as? Just don't use them.

I want to redo the permissions and it would be easier with a fresh slate, can someone just answer my question?
I've answered your question, but to clarify,
don't do it. If you want to redo your permissions then by all means go ahead, but the ID of those groups you're referring to are used within MyBB's core, meaning if you delete the groups and redo them they'll be given a new gid (Group ID), meaning your forum will break. But hey, it's up to you... You can delete them with a simple SQL query:
DELETE FROM mybb_usergroups WHERE gid IN (1, 3);

As stated already, it's NOT wise to delete the original user groups like Guests.
Why not create a duplicate user group (for example - Guests Group Two) using the same credentials as the 'Guests' usergroup, then change the permissions and whatnot for the 'Guests Group Two?
That would be a far more practical way of handling this.
