Hello,

You can change the editor for the frontend users in order to hide the media manager.
You can override the itemform.php as well in order to hide the browse server button.

Hmm since you cannot trust your editors why don't you block all these URLs using your .htaccess as well.
I think this is a more bulletproof solution.

Yes, you're right , i cannot trust my editors because i made a ads manager website with k2.

and registered users can add their ads with k2 component...

Ok, then hardcode a 301 permanent redirect or a 403 (forbidden access) to all these URLs, and strip your itemform.php of all the elements you do not want to be accessible by your editors.
