I'm having trouble figuring out how to remove systemd units that no longer have files. They still seem to linger in the system somehow.
The old broken units I am trying to remove:
core@ip-172-16-32-83 ~ $ systemctl list-units --all firehose-router*
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
<E2><97><8F> firehose-router@02.service not-found failed failed firehose-router@02.service
<E2><97><8F> firehose-router@03.service not-found failed failed firehose-router@03.service
LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
2 loaded units listed.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
The files do not exist, yet a reload still has these units lingering:
core@ip-172-16-32-83 ~ $ systemctl list-unit-files firehose-router@02.service
core@ip-172-16-32-83 ~ $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
core@ip-172-16-32-83 ~ $ systemctl list-units --all firehose-router*
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
<E2><97><8F> firehose-router@02.service not-found failed failed firehose-router@02.service
<E2><97><8F> firehose-router@03.service not-found failed failed firehose-router@03.service
LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
2 loaded units listed.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
There are no files related to them that I can find:
core@ip-172-16-32-83 ~ $ sudo find /var/run/systemd -name "*firehose-router*"
core@ip-172-16-32-83 ~ $ find /etc/systemd/ -name "*firehose-router*"
core@ip-172-16-32-83 ~ $ find /usr/lib/systemd/ -name "*firehose-router*"
core@ip-172-16-32-83 ~ $
So how do I get rid of these?

The command you're after is
systemctl reset-failed
