What are the meanings of おはようございません and ありがとうございません?
ありがとうございます and おはようございます ("Thank you very much" and "Good morning") both end
in ございます, which may be inflected to its negative form ございません to give

> おはようございません  
>  ありがとうございません

Like you already say yourself, these don't get used in Japanese, just like
"Ungood morning" or "Few thanks" don't get used in English. I don't know where
you got these expressions, but if you came up with them by yourself, you're
not the first one. They're an obvious play on words, which depending on
context _may_ be used, e.g., to say that someone's late to work (おはようございません)
etc., although generally they would probably just be interpreted as rude.

I would like to add a bit to the **Earthliŋ** 's answer. Such standard phrases
as "Good morning" are not taken at literal value, they are _formulas_ to
express some figurative sense. What is the literal sense of "Good morning"?

> "This morning is good", or maybe  
>  "I wish you a good morning"

And what does it actually mean?

> "I greet you, and it is morning"

So, when you inflect such phrases, they immediately lose their figurative
sense, and come back to the literal one, which is then inclined. Thus, "Ungood
morning" would sound nothing like "I do not greet you". So the deeper level of
the question is, maybe, **What is the literal meaning of such expressions like
おはようございます and ありがとうございます?** And that is easy:

> おはようございます = _polite of_ はやい = _lit._ "Early", meaning "How early do I meet
> you!"  
>  ありがとうございます = _polite of_ ありがたい = _lit._ "Thankful"

Now you can easily deduce their negated meanings yourself. These forms -おう are
unusual for beginners, they are rare, except for several everyday expressions.
