Title:
  systemctl disable fails to clean up override

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am using Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS  and package version

  systemd:
    Installed: 229-4ubuntu21.10
    Candidate: 229-4ubuntu21.10
    Version table:

  When a unit is enabled with 

      systemctl enable <unit file>

  and overrides are applied with

      systemctl edit <unit name>

  and subsequently the unit is disabled with

      systemctl disable <unit name>

  the override file that is created and its directory

      /etc/systemd/system/<unit name>.d/override.conf

  is not removed.  Subsequent attempts to enable the same unit will fail
  with the misleading and unhelpful error message

      Failed to execute operation: Invalid argument

  Removing the override file and directory will fix the problem.
