You should be able to remove any account from your Settings (Accounts, Google). Or if you have any other apps that could be using Google accounts, check those as well. You CAN have an account linked to your phone and not sync with it (if it's added, it should show up in the list of accounts for Google apps, however, like GMail or Play Store).
