Solution:

Remove the virtual machine. Open powershell

get-vm -Name NameOfVM | remove-vm -Force

The VM should stay online during this process, and will automatically reappear in SCVMM after a refresh.

Should the above fail, then try running the SQL script here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2756886 (backup the SQL database first).
