What is this piece named and is there a non-destructive way to remove it? (slrpnk.net)

Hello, I'm trying to replace the power cord of an air fryer and there are these white caps that connect each leads. I would like to know if they can be removed without being destroyed, I quickly tried with flat pliers but it did no budge.

Not sure of the actual name, but they're like wire nuts but crimped instead of twist. I don't think there's a non-destructive way to undo them but you may be able to rip the wires out and use a regular wire nut to splice them back. If not, try cutting them as far inside as you can and replacing with another crimp connector or use a screw type wire nut.
