What to do w/ OLD-Negative Mortgage account?

I have a paid/old/negative mortgage account and I'm wondering what to do with it. 
 
It has several late payments.  Unfortuately, I was not versed in credit health back then.  I paid the account off in 5/20006. 
 
I was wondering if I should do a goodwill to have it deleted or leave it alone.  I'm concerned about that my "years" would be affected.  At this time, I have 12 years. 
 
Here's how it looks...i was late several times Account History:
 60 days as of Aug 2005, May 2004
 30 days as of Apr 2005 to Jul 2005, Jul 2004 to Jan 2005
   
 
Date Opened: 05/2002
Type:Mortgage
Credit Limit: 0
Date of Status:05/2006
Terms:30 Years 
High Balance:NA   
Reported Since: 05/2004
Monthly Payment: $0
Recent Balance:NA    
Last Reported Date: 05/2006
