I have made sure that WMP, Yahoo Music, iTunes (not that itunes should matter) etc. are not being used by interogating the running processes. Do you know what process is using this file?
At least you can delete the DRM folder in the SAFE mode (all licenses will be lost!).

You can also try to usee freeware utilities by sysinternals:
  • Process Explorer is much better at showing processes and killing ones.
  • And File Monitor allows you to find an application that uses your file. Just filter for "drmstore.hds" and it might help...
