How to remove SQL Azure Data Sync objects manually

Question

Having given up on SQL Azure Data Sync for synchronizing data between two SQL Azure databases, how can I remove all the DataSync related objects (tables, triggers etc)?

E.g:

DataSync.<table>_dss_tracking
DataSync.schema_info_dss
DataSync.scope_config_dss
DataSync.scope_info_dss

And all the other objects? Is there a script that can be run?

There is an article on msgooroo.com:

Essentially the script is as follows:

-- Triggers
DECLARE @TRIGGERS_SQL VARCHAR(MAX) = (
    SELECT
        'DROP TRIGGER [' + SCHEMA_NAME(so.uid) + '].[' +  [so].[name] + '] ' 
        FROM sysobjects AS [so]
        INNER JOIN sysobjects AS so2 ON so.parent_obj = so2.Id
        WHERE   [so].[type] = 'TR'
        AND     [so].name LIKE '%_dss_%_trigger'
    FOR XML PATH ('')
)
PRINT @TRIGGERS_SQL
IF LEN(@TRIGGERS_SQL) > 0
BEGIN
    EXEC (@TRIGGERS_SQL)
END     


-- Tables
DECLARE @TABLES_SQL VARCHAR(MAX) = (
    SELECT
        'DROP TABLE [' + table_schema + '].[' + table_name + '] ' 
    FROM 
        information_schema.tables where table_schema = 'DataSync' 
    FOR XML PATH ('')
)
PRINT @TABLES_SQL
IF LEN(@TABLES_SQL) > 0
BEGIN
    EXEC (@TABLES_SQL)
END    

-- Stored Procedures
DECLARE @PROC_SQL VARCHAR(MAX) = (
    SELECT 'DROP PROCEDURE [' + routine_schema + '].[' + routine_name + '] ' 
    FROM    INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES where ROUTINE_SCHEMA = 'DataSync' and routine_type = 'PROCEDURE'
    FOR XML PATH ('')
)
PRINT @PROC_SQL
IF LEN(@PROC_SQL) > 0
BEGIN
    EXEC (@PROC_SQL)
END    


-- Types
DECLARE @TYPE_SQL VARCHAR(MAX) = (
  SELECT
  'DROP TYPE [' + SCHEMA_NAME(so.uid) + '].[' + [so].[name] + '] ' 
  FROM systypes AS [so]
  where [so].name LIKE '%_dss_bulktype%'
  AND SCHEMA_NAME(so.uid) = 'Datasync'
  FOR XML PATH ('')
)
PRINT @TYPE_SQL
IF LEN(@TYPE_SQL) > 0
BEGIN
  EXEC (@TYPE_SQL)
END    


-- Schema
DROP SCHEMA DataSync
