I wouldn't cancel an interview with a company you're interested in until you've received a paycheck from the company you've joined and aren't planning on quitting.
There's a moralizing argument that if you accept a position from a company, you should spend n number of days with them before leaving, going to another company, or whatever.
But you really only know a company (and your team) once you sit down and start submitting PRs, joining standup, etc.
You might accept from company C, cancel interview with company B, go to work for 2 weeks and hate your life, wishing you'd at least tried to interview at company B.
Keep doors open until you're forced to close them or close them willingly because you're no longer interested in the opportunity.

I’m currently into be process of doing interviews and to my worst luck, it seems like all of my offers may be collapsing tightly together within a week.
Some places seem to be more eager than others saying they will get back to me within a week, but I’ve also had an experience where a company seemed like they were really sure on getting me on board but it seems they’ve ghosted me when it came to providing an offer to sign.
For example, this Tuesday I should be hearing from company B who is willing to counter any other offer should another company wants me (I also told them that within a week I should know my answer for them) - which I assume is when I will be signing and making it official, but I am still waiting on company A whom I really want to work for (they still haven’t given an offer) and then there’s company C, which seems prospective and higher paying who will interview me but only after after company B’s deadline.
If I officially get signed on to B, should I still proceed with the interview with C regardless?
Some companies have told me that if someone is paying me (ex.) 75k that they’re willing to counter it - should I divulge details which companies is doing this?
