unlinking failed: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib/systemd/system/elasticsearch.service'

Running the script is crashing by this way :

TASK [elastic.elasticsearch : Remove if it is a normal file] *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [search-preprod.gpdis.com]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "gid": 0, "group": "root", "mode": "0644", "msg": "unlinking failed: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib/systemd/system/elasticsearch.service' ", "owner": "root", "path": "/usr/lib/systemd/system/elasticsearch.service", "size": 1663, "state": "file", "uid": 0}

I've included in our corporate playbook the roles via galaxy, we added a test server to build a future service. Server is under Debian 9.4 , its host_vars is :

---
name: Test
hosts: localhost
es_instance_name: "preprod"
es_api_basic_auth_username: "test"
es_api_basic_auth_password: "yes_i_know_this_is_just_for_test"
es_log_dir: "/var/log/elasticsearch"
roles:
  - role: elasticsearch

the /usr/bin/systemd is actually :

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1663 Jun 12 01:44 elasticsearch.service
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2119 Jun 28 10:39 preprod_elasticsearch.service

I have a similar issue for these files: for some reason, ansible file module couldn't remove these files.
