They never appear in the same place - so the question never arises.
If you analyze everything in a non-rotating frame, there's only centripetal force. And it doesn't cancel with anything; it produces centripetal acceleration and thus circular motion.
If you analyze everything in a rotating frame then you have to add a fictitious centrifugal force to the accounting. This cancels with the force formerly known as centripetal force. It's former centripetal force because it's no longer making anything move in a circle. On the contrary, if you take the rotating frame seriously, the object is sitting there stationary and the rest of the universe is going in circles.
