I have two Apple ID's how do I delete one of them? The one I want to delete is tied to the iTunes store. If I delete it can I use my other iCloud ID there instead (understanding that I'll lose whatever DRM purchases I've made)?

You should be able to use the iCloud ID in the App Store/iTunes. Another option would be to just stop using the Apple ID and set up Family Sharing between the 2 IDs. That would allow you to keep access to the purchases you have made.
All purchases made using an Apple ID are tied to the ID. Delete the ID and you will need to download them using your new ID. There have been posts by people who have contacted Apple Support and they were told that if you delete an ID associated with an email address, you can never reuse the email address for an Apple ID. Make sure that you sign out of all your devices to avoid issues with apps that use your Apple ID account or iCloud. After your account is deleted, you can't sign out of iCloud or turn off Find My iPhone Activation Lock on your devices. If you forget to sign out, you might not be able to use your device when your account is deleted.
