Does a +1/+1 counter remove a -1/-1 counter in MTG?

Yep, in Magic The Gathering, if your creature has a -1/-1 counter on it and you slap a +1/+1 counter onto it, they cancel each other out. It's like they give each other a stern look until they both decide to leave the party. So, you won't have either counter on your creature after that.

Actually, it does! +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters annihilate each other on sight. If you have both on a creature, they'll neutralize one another, leaving the creature counter-free.

Absolutely, from personal experience, dropping a +1/+1 counter on a creature already rocking a -1/-1 counter is a great way to cleanse it. It's like having a reset button for your creature's health and strength in the game.
