Closed current account that wasn't mine?

Have opened up a noddle account, to have a look at my credit file. To my shame it's the first time in about 5 years I've done this.
I noticed a current account with Barclays. I've never had an account with them. It was closed in 2015 and is marked as settled with a balance of zero. It also shows that it was opened in 1997, and an 'account holder start date' of 2007. The address was my mother's, which I had briefly used for post in 2010 - 2012.
After much racking of brains I remembered that for a couple of months before her demise I had been power of attorney for my grandmothers account with Barclays, and the closure date ties in with the date I closed the account.
Given that it shows as settled should I bother getting this taken off my file? Or do accounts where you have LPA show on your credit report?

It shouldn't have any negative impact, maybe even some positive but generally nothing to bother yourself about.0
