Well, that was easy. I just searched for Microsoft SQL Server in the registry, since that was the beginning of the name in the Sync Center. Found this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SyncMgr\Handlers

Go there and find the one (probably only two there, or else you would have had Sync Center showing up before, too) that says Microsoft SQL Server and delete that branch. If it makes you feel safer, export the branch before you delete it in case you want to restore it. But, after deleting that branch the Sync Center icon will go away. Mine was called this:

{08b0b2d5-3fb3-11d3-a4de-00c04f610189}

And I imagine yours will be, too.
