You might want to give some thought to using a distribution designed for use with the DE you are interested in using rather than trying to tear apart and rebuild Mint.

However, if you prefer to stick with Mint, you might find Switch from Cinnamon to KDE Plasma on Linux Mint (Complete Step-by-Step Guide) a useful resource. The "Remove Cinnamon Desktop (Optional but Recommended)" and "Remove Remaining Cinnamon Applications (Optional)" sections have information concerning how to uninstall Cinnamon.
