The original system that has been installed is Linux Mint KDE 17.1 Rebecca, later upgraded to Linux Mint KDE 17.2 Rafaela.
Onto which I have installed Cinnamon desktop environment yesterday.
I am satisfied with Cinnamon on another computer and prefer it, so I decided to remove KDE from the first computer. How shall I proceed?

Supposing I have already installed Cinnamon.
EDIT2:

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends cinnamon

Safe removal criteria difficult to satisfy. If uncomfortable without GUI- one uses KNetwork manager to connect, wholly dependent on WiFi -then this is unadvised. As comment by Erasmus, may wish to additionally install Cinnamon, Mate, etc. if uninterrupted access to GUI is important.
