if it's a failed service, you might need systemctl reset-failed

● vboxvmservice@A.service - VBox Virtual Machine A Service Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/vboxvmservice@.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2015-10-01 12:02:49 CEST; 4 days ago Main PID: 15101 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
How to mak systemd forget about this service? I checked /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ and there is no link for my service.
If you change, add or remove service files: $ systemctl daemon-reload
And you may need to stop the service as Florian wrote.
systemctl disable is not making this service disabled. The first call to "systemctl disable vboxvmservice@A" removed a link from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ correctly.
daemon-reload does not help.
I suspect that reboot will get rid of it but on server I would not like to reboot just because systemctl shows failure of non existent service.
