Should I cancel £15k Barclaycard that I don't use?

in Credit cards
I have had a Barclaycard since 1997.
Ever since the dumped Nectar I haven't used it and it has a decent £15k credit limit.
How is this affecting my credit with other lenders?
I haven't used it for quite some time apart from the odd i-tunes purchase.
Should I totally close the card or should I get them to reduce the credit say to £1k?
I'd like to have some 0% deals with other lenders but I feel tthe £15k on Barclayscard may be preventing me from doing so.
Conversely, is it better to keep the card open given that it is the card I have held the longest?
