Sure.  Download a free program called Revo Uninstaller.  You can get it here:

http://www.revouninstaller.com/

(see the righthand side of the page, you're looking for the "Download Now" link).

Install it.

Run it.

Up at the top, you'll see a button that says "Hunter Mode."  Select that.

Now you should see a little blue gunsight-like thing on your screen.  Drag that so 
it's pointing at the unwanted icon.  When it's pointing at the offending icon, let 
go of the mouse button.  You'll see a menu with options.  One of the options will 
be "Uninstall".  Choose that.  Ta-dah, icon gone forever.
