systemctl enable works by manipulating symlinks in /etc/systemd/system/
(for system daemons). When you enable a service, it looks at the WantedBy
lines in the [Install] section, and plops symlinks in the .wantsdirectory
of the specified service.
systemctl disable does the opposite.
Just remove those symlinks.
